Dayton Steam discusses the steam program at Carriage Hill Historic Farm (1983 - 1992), along with the beginnings of the Carillon Park Rail and Steam Society (CPRSS) in scale steam railroading. This book examines other steam activities around Ohio, presents various uses of steam on the farm, discusses the future of steam living history and interpretative programs, and lists locations where parents can take kids to learn about steam trains and steam on the farm. It covers the impact of women in live steam and examines farm steam and threshing accidents. The care and detail contained in this book could only come from someone who's shoveled soft coal into a firebox during a 100-degree day in August or a 38-degree day in November.
