You want old pictures? I'll show you some old equipment!

This shovel is at a quarry where I did lots of work over the years. Back in the early 1970's Some of the old guys who worked there said they recalled this being moved out to where it sits today. The story was that to make it's last move they powered it off an air compressor as the boiler was not in condition to be fired.

If anyone wants to read a story about it there is a link to a page that includes the application for consideration as a National Historic Place.

Leroy New York, west of Rochester.

As a side note I actually found out where the little steam locomotive that used to sit next to this shovel.

Check out this link: http://www.cnynrhs.org/locos.html

Look at the third picture down "Narrow Gauge (36") 0-4-0T #3"

Was glad to know it was not cut up for scrap. When I found the picture of the shovel and the little steam engine was not in the picture I expected the worse. I guess I'll have to run up to Central Square when the weather gets better this spring to say hello to the old girl. Will be a nice motorcycle ride.

I've been through Leroy, I guess I'll have to go back, thanks. Sorry for the high jack, carry-on.
