DEMONSTRATING THE STARTING OF A STEAM ENGINE IN 1966
This video by R. J. Hickey captures the start up of the steam engine at Living History Day 2016. It is believed that it is the same steam engine once owned by Charlie McCourtney and used in the 1966 threshing machine harvest exhibition.

The images elow were shared on Facebook by Dan Witulski. He has been scanning his parents slides, and they included these in Table Rock. The images that he shared were in color but the color was so badly degraded that it was distracting see the image to the right. The images were therefore changed to black and white for easier viewing.
