Here's one of a N&W flatcar modified to move brand new MACK truck cabs from a factory in Ohio? to Allentown Pa. for completion.

Great photo Raymo!

Dan, that looks like maybe a cylinder head and a piece of shop gear (a fixture to hold an engine block and rotate it?) sharing the flat car with the wreck-damaged 44-tonner.

Tom, I'm only mentioning it to avoid confusing the punters, but that's a nice photo of an E-7A.,

Thanks James,

The slide came out of a friends collection. I had a photo made from the slide and the date and location was unknown to him. He passed several years ago but I do believe he was the photographer.
