Martin Seyller General Looking on Google Earth, I notice there are two locomotives, mow equipment, 11 tanker car and three hopper cars. Is the fracking activity going on? 5/13/2014 6:15:36 PM
Rev. Jonathan Spurlock General Love that bell-and-bracket. too! Nice touch! As for the plow, and the snow, these SW-1's didn't have a lot of horsepower (660?) so I hope it can make it through another winter. 6/23/2014 6:21:09 PM
