A Day in the Life at Steamtown National Historic Park

Описание: Chug along with our heavy metal hero at Steamtown National Historic Site! Come behind the scenes of an annual steam engine inspection with Christian, a heavy mobile equipment mechanic. From drilling stay bolts to boiler inspections, these maintenance heroes keep our history alive, one bolt at a time!

Steamtown is the only National Park entirely dedicated to the history of steam engines, demanding a lot of unique care. Every day is a new adventure in preservation, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Video: An NPS employee at Steamtown National Historic Site, Pennsylvania, walks us through the steam engine inspection process, and talks about some of the unique maintenance duties they have.
