I yoinked this pic from a Facebook post on a page dedicated to pics of noteworthy MV's....IMG_1357.JPG.... Sadly, they shared no date/location/unit information. It is a great moment in time captured for us though.



And, I'll throw this one in just to keep a little laughter going among the troops here....

First moment I saw it my gut said "Ausies in the Asian theater". Maybe shortly after the war?

I was hoping it might include some track - or maybe a timeshare spot on their rails :cool:
Ferro has rails! When you are bidding, figure in about $2 a railroad mile to get it shipped where it is going. And, since it will be a part of a unit train, it may take several weeks to move any appreciable distance.

I did not know the vot ewas open, it used to be something like 98% in favor of Ferro being nuts, he went seriously down in that respect.

You GOT to be nuts if you're going to get anything done.

You can bet that's what all the neighbors told the Wright Brothers:

- "You guys are nuts!"

120 years later we got a helicopter on Mars.

We need more like Ferro!!
