This 50 hp. J. I. Case Steam Traction Engine, Number 32564 was
made in 1915. More of this model were made and sold than any other
steam traction engine by any manufacturer. Originally sold in
Tennessee and later purchased and restored by the late A. Glen
Thomas of Cumming, Georgia. In excellent mechanical condition, it
is now the property of U.S.A. of Yesterday near Dundee, Florida, on
The young lady, Mary Jane Mixon, actually drives and operates
this engine when regular engineer, Bert Rugenstein, is not on duty.
