Steam Shovel Loaded Here For Road Work
A crew labored today to skid a large steam shovel onto a flat car at Beech Street siding.

A sister shovel remains on the Fairmont road where grading nears completion and will continue digging Taylor county dirt for about a week. The engine, under a skilled chauffeur, moved the six mile route from the location toward the river road and Meech Street as it was raised onto a car by jacks today.
