As anybody who's played huge maps knows, Iron Works is the proverbial impossible dream on them. The rare time you do get an IW site, chances are it's off in the boonies somewhere, and the wonder might double your production to two shields. Yippee.
My current game is C3C 1.22, unmodded except for city names, huge, continents, 60% water, 12 total civs. I'm playing the Inca (not a bad civ at all, btw). I discover Steam Power, and don't give IW a second thought (based on past experience, of course). A few turns later, I'm looking at something else and realize that I have an IW site. Even better, it's right in my core. I look around a bit more and  I've got another one! Two coal/iron confluences smack dab in my core... and I missed both of them when placing my early cities, of course.  
Fortunately, I was able to place Juliaca (3333 from Cuzco) on the closer site. The second one is at the top of the screenshot, to the right of center.

The previous AU game Power of F had two sites, but that was a standard map size.

T - Communism may have to happen. Of course, I say that every game and it never does . I'm almost to the point of moving up a level or two, but right now I'm perfectly happy being a Monarch slumlord ($1 to Arrian).
Tomasz - What Modo said. It's not uncommon at all on a huge map to have that kind of gold pouring in. In this particular case, I also got a jump on building my army, and have several cities building wealth, simply because they're built out completely and I don't have the need for any more units at the moment. On the garrisons, I have only one border, with Germany, and am currently fighting the Romans, so all my troops are along that border or in Rome. No enemy units are going to sneak behind them, so why garrison my towns deeper into the empire? They aren't going to rebel.
Modo - Exactly, but what a beautiful fluke it was.
v - I'm playing domination, but I'll wind up going well past that point and trying to get conquest as well. Also, I didn't have an eligible city until I noticed the sites and put one down specifically for that purpose. Ergo, no message.
