Amazing. Although they aren't running, there are some incredibly large steam powered generators at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan. One of them provided electrical power to one of the Ford plants back in the day.I believe it was around 2 megawatts!

I will always be fascinated by how steam engines work. I always watch one you tube channel of a guy who builds and repair model steam engines.
