Generation
In the back corner of the machinery room at the McMyler coal unloader was this relic of a steam engine powered generator. Boy, would I have liked to see this operate!
A single cylinder, double acting steam engine coupled to a generator. I couldn't tell if DC or AC current was generated here as all of the electrical portions of the generator (IE: copper) were removed by scrappers.
More photos here in the McMyler set.
