This video is about the only operating steam engine of its kind in Europe. The opportunity to make the video came as a surprise. We were totally unprepared to even see, no less, film the machine. Not having our good video cameras with us, we used a backup camera and did the best that we could under extremely trying conditions. Photography notwithstanding, what you see here is a video unlike any other that we believe has been made.
This steam engine is located at the “Queen Louise” coal mine museum in Zabrze Poland. Zabrze is in Upper Silesia
This steam engine provided the power to lower and raise miners in a cage in the mine shaft and to remove coal from the mine. The mine ceased operations in 1990 and since that time only tour groups have been offered the opportunity to watch the steam engine in operation.
We were not part of a tour group and, parenthetically, we did not know that such tour groups were organized to visit this mine. After first being declined the opportunity to look at a steam engine, for some reason, we were invited in.
The lift mechanism was not operating properly. The wheel brake, made of wood and leather, would not release. So the operator was struggling to break it free and prepare for a tour group that was scheduled in an hour or so.
So what you see here is the operator exercising the engine to make sure that that break would properly release.
The engine was made in 1915 by the firm Eisenhutte Prinz Rudolfh w Dulmen.
It has two cylinders each with a diameter of almost 1 m. The cylinders develop about 2000 hp. They drive a 6 m diameter wheel that move the cables in the mine shaft. The wheel weighs about 25 tons.
When operating, materials and men were moved up and down the shaft at about 40 km/h. The machine is capable of moving them at 100 km/h.
There are two cables and two cages. One cable and cage is used to balance the weight of the cage and cable that carries the coal and miners. Because of this balancing the machine lifts only about 4 tons, the weight of the cage, plus the weight of the people or the coal. As a side note, at the time that the mine was closed, the weight of the cables that served tunnels 503 meters below ground level was about 16 tons.
Communications with various levels of the mine was done using the voice tube that you can see in front of the operator.
The operator that you see in this video is the third-generation in his family to operate this machine. His grandfather was the first, his father the second, and he the last.
Conditions in the building can be extreme. In the freezing cold temperatures, it is quite comfortable. But when the temperature is near 30°C, it can become extremely hot. On the day that I took this video, building temperature was 44°C. When we left the building, returning to the near 30°C temperature outside was like going into an air-conditioned room.

Michał Cała - Silesia - March 2018
Silesia
From 1975-1992, Michał Cała photographed the Silesia region in his home country of Poland. In the 1970s and early 1980s the area was at its peak of industrial development and mining activity, providing mass employment at the expense of the environment and public health. Cala remembers his first impression of Silesia as “terrifying and beautiful at the same time,” leading him to focus his camera on the natural and altered landscape as well as its inhabitants. Although the mines, factories, laborers’ housing districts, and slag heaps no longer exist, the artist’s gelatin silver prints serve as as an unsettling yet intriguing visual record of this recent period in Polish history.
Michał Cała was born in Toruń, Poland in 1948 and studied aircraft construction at the University of Technology in Warsaw in the early 1970s. From 1974 to 1983 he worked as an engineer in various companies in Silesia and began photographing in the area. In 1977 he moved to Tychy in Upper Silesia, where he co-founded the photographers’ association KRON and became a member of the ZPAF, the Union of Polish Art Photographers. In 2007 he was named one of most important Polish photographers in the last century and participated in the group exhibition Polish Photography in the 20th Century shown in Warsaw and in Vilnius, Lithuania. Cala’s work is in several museum collections, including in the Silesian Museum of Katowice, the Silesian Library in Katowice, the Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom, the Coal Mining Museum in Zabrze, and in the local government building in Duisburg in the Ruhr, Germany, and various private collections. Publications on his work include The Anthology of Polish Photography 1839–1989, The Masters of Polish Landscape, and Polish Photography in the 20th Century. Cala now lives in Bielsko-Biała in Poland and is represented by MMX Gallery in London.

Steam winding engine – soundscape
The sound of steam winding engine in operation, recorded in the Queen Louise Adit, department of the Coal Mining Museum in Zabrze (Poland).
The recorded engine was constructed in 1915 in Prinz Rudolf Hütte plant in Dülmen (Germany). The 2000-horsepower engine was used to power the shaft hoist transporting the extracted material, people and equipment – it enabled moving pit cages down with the speed of 10 m/s and at steam pressure of 12 – 8 atm.
