The steam shovel was made by BUCYRUS-ERIE (buu-cy-rus ee-ree), and were common and very well made. Some of those made in the late 1800s are still serviceable today, and can regularly be seen at 'steam-ups' where enthusiasts bring their old equipment and operate them.

The Erie Steam Shovel Company merged with Bucyrus International inc. becoming, Bucyrus-Erie Company in 1927. Your Steam shovel is the "Bucyrus Model 50-B Steam Shovel" built from 1923 and 1939. 532 were built with most being sent to panama to dig the Panama canal. rated at 130,000 lbs or 75 tons one of the largest at the time.

It’s been 35 years, but I’ve actually been in that midget sub. I was working on a mobile processor out of Dutch Harbor and we went all the way down the Aleutian chain and anchored in a harbor on Kiska. Processing king crab. We got to go on land a couple times. I do remember rows of broken batteries in it. The island was amazing. There were still caves you could go in that the Japanese had used. Bomb craters. Artillery shells laying about. A few artillery pieces as well. An amazing remote place. Really surprised me when I saw the sub in the thumbnail. Those were some good younger days.

Ahem, General Motors did more than supply engines and parts for diesel locomotives. In 1930, they bought the Electro-Motive Corporation, begun in 1922 to build gasoline-electric railcars (powered railroad passenger cars), and Winton Engines. In 1933 GM's EMC plant provided the engine power setups for the Burlington _Zephyr and Union Pacific M-10000 trains and in 1036 the EMC plant started building standardized diesel-electric passenger locomotives with their E-1 streamlined A (cabs with controls) and B (booster units with only rudimentary controls for moving them in yards). In 1939 they designed similar looking locomotives for freight use, designated the FT. A year later, EMC was renamed EMD for "Electro Motive Division" of GM. The E-series passenger locos and F-series freight locos, which could be equipped and geared to power both freight and passenger trains, plus the later GP and SD "hood units" became the backbone of the industry. The Aero-Train was the not-so-bright idea of combining a light, futuristic locomotive to pull matching coaches that were nothing more than modified _bus_ bodies, which rode on four wheels instead of two 4-wheel or 6-wheel "trucks" or "bogies," as the Brits call them. They were, as you say, rough riding (not even as smooth as the buses they resembled!) and lacking the amenities of real passenger trains. The Aero-Train locomotive on display at the National Railroad Museum, in Green Bay, WI, is a mere shell, its "prime mover" and traction motors, the only useful parts of the thing, having been removed. Pretty interesting video, otherwise.

General Motors has made locomotives for years it's called EMD electric motor division of General Motors Corporation then in the 2008 banking crisis General Motors was in a lot of trouble and EMD was not so they separated and EMD became electro-motive diesel for a while now they're a part of caterpillar and It Go by electric motive diesel and this train that you're talkin about was just an experiment that use the turbine and the train cars were actually bus bodies and it failed miserably but EMD also made the world's largest diesel Freight locomotive ever it's called the dd40ax it has to V16 and 4 axle trucks instead of the standard three axle they called it the Centennial Hills they were built from 1969 1973 I think they retired them in the 1980s Union Pacific also had the most powerful Freight locomotives of all time which was a gas turbine putting out 9000 horsepower it was built by General Electric they called them the big blows was the nickname cuz they sound like a jet airplane on the ground and that ended up being a failed experiment as well the railroads have experimented with turbines for a while Union Pacific have the first one which was a steam turbine and they all failed other railroads like Pennsylvania Railroad tried a steam turbine I think one of them was an Erie Railroad engine but yeah turbines on railroads are all failures they can't handle the vibration reason why I know all this about trains is cuz I am a railfan interesting video peace out in the world have a great day
