Finding An Abandoned Steam Engine In The Wilderness

This abandoned steam engine we found out in the wilderness is one of the coolest things I have ever seen… We started the day by hiking down to explore a mine that Gold Country Explorers discovered on a past trip and, after finishing inside, we then made our way down the steep hill beyond. The brush is quite thick in this area, but even with that, it was possible to see that there is quartz scattered all over the hillside. The steam engine from Ames Iron Works can be found near the bottom. Because of the bent wheels and the snapped axle in the front, we believe that the steam engine was wrecked – likely tumbling down the hillside – and crash landed essentially where we found it. One can observe the cable wrapped around the front, which presumably represents an effort by the crew to salvage the steam engine. However, perhaps not surprisingly, this steam engine was abandoned in a very remote location that is difficult to reach. Otherwise, the original owners would have figured out a way to haul it out or someone else certainly would have by now. Gold Country Explorers led this trip and has the credit for these discoveries... There are many other great locations and discoveries featured on their site.
