Water Buffalo Move from near College Park to Duluth

[rmgill]

A Director needs a water buffalo moved from near College Park up to near Duluth to the SE RR Museum. Is anyone with a Deuce able to move this for him? It's Greg Russell at the SSRR museum. Let me know I'll get you in touch.

Have him give me passes for the family to the museum and it's a done deal

That's only about 85 miles (uphill though) a pickup will move it easy. Empty of course is easy. Wayne

Pretty darn soon, it's on a horse farm that's about to be developed. He's basically offered it's use for me and presumably who moves it for him. His brother had a pickup but he sold it.

ADR, he'll probably show you around the museum himself if you'd like. It's usually open on Fridays and Saturdays though. I'll let him know.

Ooh, train stuff. Don't show those pics to FerroEquinologist, he'll have the make a road trip!

It's a cool place. They have several army rail cars. Twould be neat if we could get some local steel soldiers to adopt a car or two.

At some point in the future, I'd love to see a WWII train setup to to go to a re-enactment with crews, passengers in rail cars and flat cars full of WWII armor and vehicles.

I love S.E. RR museum.

Your Deuce looks good, ADR.
