Trackless Steam Locomotive

Kramer Power Equipment Company #726 at the 2022 National Thresher Association event at the Fulton County, Ohio Fairgrounds.

This steam tractor (sometimes referred to as a “Traction Engine”) has a very striking resemblance to a steam locomotive and can often be seen year after year at this amazing event.

It's a truck! It's a locomotive! It's a truckomotive!

Tell me that races with like a dozen of these steam tractors through technical dirt tracks wouldn't be some of the most epic and exciting things you could ever witness.

[Gugernoot]

I mean with the cab that is on it it does look like a locomotive.

This would do numbers in a post apocalyptic situation where no one was drilling for more oil and all the gas in the abandoned cars are too stale to burn

[MillerMeteor]

I've never seen a steam traction engine move so fast. But then again I've also never seen one on small rubber tires like a truck. I've been to the annual threshermen's reunion at Rough & Tumble in PA 3 times, but no one ever had one like that there.

Buying a normal gas car ❌
Building your own steam locomotive ✔️

Me: *Builds a steam locomotive for the road*

That is the fastest steam traction engine I’ve ever seen in a video before!

[bbracing]

As the Aussies would say, it's a "road train" 😂❤

Without exaggeration, this is without a doubt one of the absolute coolest things I ever have laid eyes on. _A steam tractor that looks like a steam _*_locomotive._*_ It's like a dream come true, what ISN'T to love??_

[Skeeballman]

Imagine going to work and seeing this thing running down the freeway.

[static_bolt]

this is the coolest thing I have ever seen

For a steam tractor, its fast as heck

What you need to do is take some people camping and tell them a story about how 150 years ago there was a terrible train crash in the woods. It was so horrific that the railroad decided to stop service through those woods and remove the tracks. However, if you listen closely, you can still hear the ghost of that train still roaming the woods at night in search of the train tracks and its lost passengers. If you hear or see the train coming then you need to hide, because if it finds you, you will forever become a passenger. Then have your buddy drive this steam locomotive through the woods with a red headlight while blowing the whistle.

I'm a big fan of steam engine so what you did was awesome keep it up

[Wheeljack]

It's the Rail Rodder from Hot Wheels!!!

[MaydupNem]

Her: Come over
Me: I can't, there's no railroad to your house
Her: My parent's aren't home
Me:

Imagine hauling normal semi truck trailers in this thing GOD THE POSSIBILITIES 🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥

[DaimosZ]

Imagine pulling up to the Mcdonalds drive thru in this

[Foxontherun]

just goes to show the invention of the truck could have come way earlier
