    I'd sure enjoy seeing video footage of this equipment in action. I wonder if there is anything at all on YouTube?

    I always enjoy your historical photos, Roger, but it is sad to hear that all has been eliminated. Destroyed a better word?

    Fascinating equipment, also would love to see it in operation. I'm curious about running gear that appear to be similar to Arch Bar trucks. Was the equipment built back in the Arch Bar era before 1900, or was this a special application requiring an in-house design?
