Finally after sixteen years of work the Tod Engine finally will be opened
to the public! Join us as we show off the work accomplished thus far and
discuss the work ahead of us as we begin the mechanical restoration of the
Tod Engine with a goal of returning it to operation by September, 2014.

On Saturday, September 29 the Youngstown Steel Heritage Foundation will be
holding an open house at the Tod Engine Heritage Park in Youngstown.  Come
see our collection of historic Youngstown steelmaking equipment being
restored for our future steelmaking museum. Our collection consists of a
260 ton, 4000 horsepower rolling mill steam engine, the oldest operable
electric overhead crane in the US, a Kling type hot metal car, GE 70 ton
centercab locomotive, 175 ton teeming ladle, ingot mold and numerous other
artifacts from Youngstown’s steel industry.

The event will be held from 10 am until 3 pm with lunch being served at
noon.  Lunch will consist of authentic ethnic food including pierogies,
Haluski and burgers cooked on a grill fired with coke made at the YS&T
Campbell Works coke plant.
