Operator Jay Staley, demonstrates the steam-powered, circa 1920, Erie Type A, Shovel. At the 2011 Sycamore Steam Show and Threshing Bee. Sponsored by the Northern Illinois Steam Power Club. On August 11, 2011 Stepping away from the train videos for just a bit. I’ve been interested in steam machinery and this shovel in particular facinates me.
