The Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association in Kinzers, Pa is a very interesting place. The group started by a bunch of farmers that would get together each year after their crops had been harvested and have a picnic/event. They would have competitions with their traction engines and other games. The first event was in 1948 and the event just grew and grew. Today the event includes many different things from hit and miss engines, gas powered tractors, to steam traction engines and steam trains. I separated this into three sections and focused on the two railroads and the traction engines.
