[AT] Steam engine boilers

[charlie hill]

Riveting was about the only way to put metal together prior to the days of 
electric arc welding.  That is why the steam boilers were riveted.   If the 
culvert was built in those days it would likely have been riveted too. 
However,
a culvert would surely be a good reuse of an old boiler tube so it's hard to 
say one way or the other.

Sure is possible Joe.  Also riveted air receiver tanks.  What ever worked
back then.
