I do like the "portable massage" vehicle. Wish that was on-site for some of our crane/truck moves....

Sat. March 23. Update. After arrival at Mossliegh, the engine is being prepped for an approximate one mile track-move to a more convenient location. There, the evaluation process will start. In the meantime they are looking for a new headlight, as the present one lacks the front glass, and needs a reflector. It's an 18".
Also on the want list are two Westinghouse air gauges,
and two 300 psi, small face, steam gauges.

For those of you wondering where this is... here's a CPR map.
It's south of Calgary, Alberta. A short drive north of the US border.
Red arrow points to present day operation.
