@Rainhill1829 Its a Daniel Best steam engine, he joined up with "Holt" and with that they founded "caterpillar, inc", what it is today. The engine itself was comeletely unique and revolutionary in its design, the vertical boiler as you noticed and the "Trike" wheels. also the BIG water tank in the front
@se7en1976 thats not steam, its the smoke from the fire box, its mostly soot, which will fall back to earth.... generally speaking, its the stuff you cant see that causes the problems.. ;)
@se7en1976 naa thats smoke from the fire, the black is a better smoke as it is unburnt carbon, instead of carbon dioxide which is made of burnt carbon
@se7en1976 Steam can't be black. Also steam has no negitive environmental effects as it is just water in it's gas form. Steam machines only pollute by what they use to heat the water with, a modern steam engine using a clean fuel for the fire can be 10 times cleaner than diesel and gas engines.
Re the black smoke, I think it burns oil rather than coal.
