A [monumental steam-powered pumping station](https://www.omropfryslan.nl/nieuws/1133050-woudagemaal-op-stoom-met-wateroverlast-voor-ons-het-mooiste-dat-er) in the Dutch village Lemmer was doing exactly that a couple weeks ago and has done so before too. It was running 24h due to high water because of heavy rainfall.

The article is in Dutch/Frisian and the video is in Frysian, but still might be interesting to watch.
