Description
See a piece of Forsyth County history at Cumming City Center: a 1920 Keck-Gonnerman 20-horsepower steam traction engine (Serial No. 1623). Unlike a railroad locomotive, this type of steam engine was built for agricultural and industrial work, including running sawmills and grain-threshing equipment.
The City of Cumming purchased the engine in 2021, and Dowe Vaughan restored its original appearance.
