The Pratt Engine Room

I love the Engine Room at Pratt. Pratt is the only institute that still runs on steam energy. It's pretty great. I take the kids I babysit for there and they all call it "trains."

Twice a year they release the steam valves and play these loud whistles. Scared the crap out of me the first time I heard it when I lived on campus.

It sounds beautiful but loud. These whistles have to be over a hundred years old.


"Train" but really the steam engine that provide heat and hot water for campus.
