I've stopped and have seen that pump. Very impressive for the day. It is an E.P. Allis product and was built prior to Allis-Chalmers.
Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

Just to clarify, that may have been the largest steam engine built to that date, but the largest in the world were the Manhattan Engines developing over 10000 hp each and built by Allis Chalmers.
