Photos from A Recent EBT Trip

On our way over in to the main shop complex proper, there's a wheelset storage track for wheelsets needing work. You can see a pony truck wheel, a trailing truck wheel, and a freight car wheel.



More wheelsets.



This is a part of the little open alley separating the blacksmith shop away from the foundry and main shop structure. The metal plates cover over the area for the belt system to transfer underground and get in to the blacksmith shop.

The following photos are of stuff in the blacksmith shop.
A forge -


Gigantic steam hammer -

This steam hammer is apparently in really good shape and a blacksmithing program at a college in PA has expressed an interest in re-lighting the forges and restoring the steam hammer to run off of compressed air. It wouldn't take a lot of money to do, just time.

Another smaller hammer, this one is run off of the belt system.


Jackshaft for running the hammer -


I believe they said this is a saw? Also run off of the shafts and belts -


The shaft that the belt goes to for the saw is here -


Make sure to report all injuries to your foreman! -
