Westinghouse Farm Engine

The Westinghouse Farm Engine was a small, vertical boilered farm engine that emerged in the late nineteenth century. In the transition from horses to machinery, small portable steam engines were hauled by horses from farm to farm. Many small workshops produced them. As a side line to the airbrake products, George Westinghouse made this self-propelled, vertical boilered and horizontal cylindered engine. It looked like a coffee pot on wheels. The engines were produced from 1886 to 1917 when they were superseded by larger standard farm engines. Many engines of this make were sent to South America where they were popular.
