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. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

This piece of equipment is still in great shape.
We heard it last ran in 1972 on Kerosene. Dan M. with the Nederland Mining Museum knows more about this beauty then I do. I just thought you all would like to see a picture of it. I hope everyone enjoys it. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
