  • Calumet & Hecla Mining 0-6-4T 3 "Torch Lake" operating at the Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford in Detroit, MI.
    Built in 1873, this Mason Bogie locomotive is one of the oldest continuously operating steam locomotives in the United States. As a Mason Machines Works design, the 3 has a pivot design on the driving wheels, which give it a slight amount of articulation to sharp curves.
    The "Torch Lake" has been a part of the Henry Ford collection since 1969, and has long been in operation on the park's three-mile loop of track. The "Torch Lake" continues to put on an excellent show as it continues operating at 150 years old.

      I fortunately live near Greenfield Village, and in my opinion, it's better than Disney World. My favorite locomotive has to probably be the Edison.

    Would have been awesome to see that engine running up in the Keweenaw peninsula! Very little equipment from the UP’s railroads made it into preservation, so it’s always a treat to see both C&H number 3s out running.

    What I like about the Torch Lake is the soul surviving Mason Bogey locomotive in existence. The Mason Bogey was a very unique design and were used on both narrow gauge and standard gauge Railroads the key to their design is that the frame that carried the pilot wheels and the driving wheels was articulated from the boiler which allowed it to pivot around sharp curves I play Railroads online and we have a model of the Mason Bogey at least the narrow gauge Denver South Park & Pacific Railroad version I think it’s a great locomotive a very cool design I’m happy to say that the Torch Lake is a great example I do live video streams on RRO I always post updates on my community on my channel page

    Whats the oldest operating steam locomotive in the U.S as of 2024?

      @DynamoProductions-trains  5 месяцев назад +1

      It’s this engine. There are a few older ones that could be operated, but torch Lake is the oldest one currently operable.
