    Another fine collection! And thanks for selecting one of mine.

    The photo itself is 40 years old, and that plow was built 60 years before that! These were built by Canadian Car & Foundry in Montreal.

    There's an identical one, 400850, at the Henry Ford Museum, built in 1923.

    Man, I forgot about those Kurt. I don't remember them being super good. Plus, I was actually thinking of the chewing gum :D

    Interesting. I've never heard of it. I read that it was distributed in Texas.

    CP is still using some of them! If you watch the Revelstoke cam the last couple weeks, they got serious snow, and had them back to back with a spreader and two SD40-2's sandwiched in the middle!:D

    That would explain why I've never heard of it. There were a lot of regional products back in the day,Vernor's ginger ale being a prime example. Most people outside of Michigan had never heard of it at one time. Another that comes to mind is O-so. I think that was made in Ohio.
