Thought I would post this pic for folks to see, hope you like it as much as I did.
This old Bucyrus Steam Shovel sits on the Lump Gulch Placer, and rumor has it this machine was used to dig on the Panama Canal prior to it's life here in Colorado.

C.P.
Great picture of this old steam shovel. A little bit o' sand blasting and some grease in just the right places and this thing could be put to work again. :P OK maybe more then just a little bit o' work but still a great old relic.
