[SEL] Snow Gas Engine Video

[Alan]

I just looked at your pictures.
Those look like newer and smaller engines than our Snow.
The only pictures of our Snow that i have are one my Buckley calendars.
Maybe I should try out my scanner.
So far our guys have just brought home the govner assembly and loosen up a lot of other parts.
This year is supposed to be the hauling year.
Our Snow is just a bit over 65' long and 20' wide.
It is estimated at 445,000 pounds.
If you look at this 600 hp one at Rollag ours is like it except there is a matching set of 
those cylinders on the other side of the flywheel.

Ours is older than Rollag's 600hp one because I just noticed the Worthington Pump tag 
on theirs.  What I have here says that happened in 1915.
Like I wrote before, Our Snow was built in 1907.

I didn't know that there were any other twin tandems left other than the 
four at Beth Steel.  How far along is the reassembly project?

I said, "Cute little Snow engine."
Ours  is an 1100 HP 1907 twin tandem, double acting, horizontal gas engine.
It is like the 600HP ones only with another set of cylinders.
I never said it was the largest engine.
It is just the biggest remaining Snow.
There is some talk here of it being the oldest remaining Snow too.
I don't know if that is true.
