Notes |
- WFT V20, #542 mentions:
At Atrim, Pa., the coal company needed to move a steam railroad locomotive from the valley to the top of the mountain to haul coal. They requested bids for this move. Seth Peake, at age 18, bid significantly less than others who proposed using rigging methods along with cribbing. He refused to tell the company how he would do it. He got the job, disassembled the engine, hauled the pieces to the new site and reassembled the locomotive. Story from C. Eugene Davis, November 1992.
