Re: Merrill is good for iron, as the video shows... Yep, some of it was already "junk"...

Now then fellas, driving by the snow covered collection at Merrill at 50 mph is no way to asses its condition. It doesn't provide any information on: boiler shell thickness, firebox condition, or running gear completeness and condition. Nor does a drone flyover.
Don't you guys know the Skookum was a collection of parts scattered in the woods, lying the dirt off Niblock spur, probably even covered with moss. Look at the thing now -- a museum showpiece! And the same jerks who declared it "junk" are probably the same ones who poached the photo charter.
Yes indeed, the 108 is in a good home now. Congratulations to the Black Hills RR on this success story.
If NWRM could get Mallet 5 under cover that would be A Good Thing™.
