@surprise_burrell: Steaming Through Traction engines were essentially portable steam engines capable of moving under their own power. Farmers used them to plough fields, drive threshing machines, and haul heavy loads. In industry and road construction, they powered machinery, workshops and mills. Their ability to provide both mobility and mechanical power made them an essential tool for agriculture, transport, and infrastructure #beats #tractionengine #steamengine #dampfmaschine #locomotive
