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.

When remaking the past for keen-eyed photographers, no detail may be spared.
In 2023, after spending nearly 10 years establishing its presence in the photo charter market, Dynamo Productions hosted a day-long event with the @EastBroadTopRailroad, revered as a time capsule of the moment it ended freight service in 1956. This, coupled with the reintroduction of locomotive No. 16, made the railroad a holy ground for photo events — it hosted close to a dozen from various operators last year. How does the conversation between a railroad and an operator start? What variables and challenges are there? Where lies the balance between railroading and period props, automobiles and actors? And what sets Dynamo Productions apart from others?
Writer, Director, Editor: Nick Martin
Cinematographers: Nick Martin, Everett Meehling, Hammer Lehmann, Andrew DeSabatino
To the host railroad, attendees, staff, actors and prop providers: THANK YOU for your support in successfully organizing this charter — and special thanks to Jonathan Smith, Harry Warren and Jim Lipnitz for their interviews.")

Built on four miles of former Pere Marquette right of way, the Huckleberry Railroad operates as part of Genesee Park.")
![[4K] Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad Steam Train](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_KRwAzDH_uM/mqdefault.jpg "[4K] Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad Steam Train
The Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad operates as part of the Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio. The CP&LE opened in 1963 and celebrates its 60th anniversary this season. Ride and follow along this theme park mainstay, with some of the worlds top roller coasters in sight.
Cedar Point & Lake Erie operates four different steam locomotives, all former industrial tank engines converted to 2-4-0 wheel arrangement. The 22, Myron H, is the locomotive featured in this video, a 1922-built Vulcan engine first operated for the Wayne Coal Company in Ohio. The engine arrived at CP&LE in 1963, and has been a mainstay of the railroad since the 1990s.
Special thanks to Bryan Allen Yosten for making this video possible.")
