Description
This image is a close up of where the tremendous power of the steam engine is applied. A massive steel rod connects the drive wheels and functions as a stabilizer for both vertical and centrifugal vibration caused by the thrusting pistons. I enjoy the three circles of the wheels and their counterpoint in the rods and rails. A steam locomotive may seem primitive in the 21st century, but they are a marvel of engineering and innovation.
