Just stumbled across this on you tube. Lots of familiar cars and names. Cool to see how it was done back then.

Very cool. They had to tear down the motor at the track and had limited time to get it back together - and they did it without DRAMA! Way better than watching all those BS build shows.

Having done some trucking it's interesting to see what they were tugging freight around with back then. there probably as a lot more going by rail than today
