Found this photo while looking for costume photos to put on Pinterest.
This photo by Phil Pantano really captures the sense of quiet power embodied in large utility steam engines.
Check out the link for thee full size photo.

| This is a shot from an old steam pump water facility dating back to 1905. |
The full image can be found here.
I love the lighting, and the elegance of the human scale guages and walkways, next to the enormous engine itself.
That there are two more of these monsters behind this one, and possibly another beside the photographer indicates the vast scale of this facility.
Keep your sightglass full, your firebox trimmed and your water iced.
