What I find more amazing than all this great engineering and craftsmanship, is that it was done in EIGHTEEN-EIGHTY-THREE !!!! and done it what was the middle of NOWHERE (hell, it is still the middle of nowhere WITH roads and power, etc !),with nothing but hand tools and beasts of burden. This would be a royal b!tch to do today. I cannot begin to comprehend what it took to make it work THEN !
Just getting a trail cut to the site in which to transport A BOILER !!!
would be a monumental piece of labor ! Add in snow, relative distance to parts and help .... just getting coal to the site ! ... Sheesh !
