In 1995 we discovered the Tod Engine at the former Youngstown Sheet & Tube Brier Hill Works, then North Star Steel Ohio.  Starting on Sept. 20, 1996 we began dismantling the engine, ultimately having it removed by June of the next year.  This was the last of the Youngstown rolling mill engines and only one of two that would be preserved out of the entire American steel industry. 

The engine powered a 24" six stand merchant mill making tube rounds for the Campbell Works seamless tube mills. Started in February, 1914 the engine ran until the end of 1979.
