Thanks for the kind words guys.
Bill, I worked on repairing and overhauling quite a bit of Mesta equipment during my years as a machinist at the old USS Homestead Works. Some of the old Mesta plant, including one of the old office buildings, still survives and operates as WHEMCO(West Homestead Engineering & Machine Co) but it is a shell of its former glory years. They still had an old Porter "fireless cooker" operating there well into the late 1980's.
Don, that scrap load looks pretty good-it's like the "big stuff" that I remember going by in the Union RR or P&LE gondolas.
