Pristine, mothballed steam engine needs rescuing
Jake van Slatt sez, "Last week I got an opportunity to tour a New England furniture manufacturer's abandoned building. It was a fascinating morning and I took some photos I'm quite pleased with. But I was also shown a steam engine that lies at the core of this facility, one that was mothballed in pristine condition and desperately needs saving now that the building is coming down around it."
