Bucyrus Steam Shovel, Antique Beauty! Options

[CP]

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.

I got this in the mail From Danny Martin from the Nederland Mining Museum.

Hi guys, in October of 2005 I moved the Bucyrus 50-B from the site to
the museum the History Channel came out to film the entire process. They
will be premiering it in their new series Mega-Movers this April.
Several weeks before the move I finally tracked down the Durand family.
Thirty eight of them came out to watch the move, the history of the
shovel is greater than anyone ever expected. The story of the shovel
being down at the Panama Canal is very true as you will see in the
movie. This steam shovel is now the most famous one in the world, with
its incredible history I will be able to Nationally Landmark it as it
will become a National Monument in the United States. It is the single
most important piece of placer mining equipment know to exist in the
world today. People from all over the US have been calling me about the
machine. I've been dealing with Hollywood everyday with all the details
about the movie as they are in the final editing process. They will
probably contact you for permission of pictures you have on your web
site of the interior pictures of the mining museum. I told them you had
better ones than I have. I think it would be great if you could promote
it on the front page of your web site, I could supply you with all the
details of the movie and the Real now known history. The History Channel
is giving us first run rights to show the movie one week prior to it
coming out on national TV. The mining museum will premiere the movie and
have a silent auction fund raiser probably at the Boulder Theater.
Anyways hope you guys can come.

Very Cool!!
