Wow. Is this the beam from the historical pic, where they were hoisting it?

Interesting. It APPEARS as if the original railings (the rounded pipes on either side of the pivot point) had to be 'upgraded' (OSHA, anyone?) with a second, newer railing. (The square-tube). I could be wrong, since I can't see the whole thing, but I like that little fact. :)

Yes, it's the original beam; I believe all the major equipment related to the engine operation has not been replaced except for the boilers in the early 1900's.
