I was led to believe the first tracked vehicles were invented in Maine (1901) for log hauling.

And Paul Bunyon was born in Maine too. :p
Who am I to argue with such esteemed authorities as the University of Maine?

That is the coolest video I have watched in a long time, maybe forever! Did you notice that the guy(s) steering it in front of the boiler had no control over the throttle? I'd want it retro-fitted with an ejection seat in case the guy in the back couldn't hear me yelling "STOP, STOP!"

THANKS FOR SHARING THAT!
