Daniel Schroeder General Thanks Mike for taking the time to digitalize the film. Very neat to see a Jordan Spreader at work! 3/12/2014 8:21:38 PM
Mike McDonald General red and Daniel - Thanks for providing your insight - it adds context to the picture, and the Jordan Spreader is a BIG piece of equipment! Being a rookie - is it appropriate to add this as a locomotive "UP 1961 4-6-0" or do I need to do a bit more work? 3/12/2014 10:20:18 PM
