About Youngstown Steel Heritage

Youngstown Steel Heritage centers on the 1914 Tod Engine, a stationary steam engine that powered rolling mills at the Brier Hill works until 1979. The engine was taken apart in 1996-97, moved to Hubbard Road, reassembled over several years, and cosmetically restored in 2014. Restoration to operating condition began in 2023, with the goal of running it on steam from two of the site's Porter locomotives. The organization also runs a narrow gauge railroad, a rolling mill display, and steam locomotive experiences on select Sundays.
