These two Worthington Power Plant Engines were used in Kenyon,MN at the Kenyon Power Plant during the years of 1928 - 1975 before being moved to the Hastings Little Log House Show in Hastigs, MN and show them running at the end of July every year for as far as I can remember. You will notice one person climbing up the ladder to the second engine to close of the valves because the engine was already set to a starting position for the air start assist procedure.The owner of the place either buys or gets old historic items donated to his land for this show he puts on every years for thousands of people to see and hear old history come to life. They range from turn of the century buildings, tractors, various sizes of engines and vehicles. When these two engines are running you can feel the big thumping vibrations rattling the building and across your body.One other footnote, before these engines were started you will hear various other engines running an old sawmill in the background behind me.
