Thank you very much for the reply "PAmining" Yeah.....they all were "as rough as guts!!! Yet back then in their day, would we rather NOT have these noisy gas chambers and do the tough work of an Irish navy with a hand shovel, pick and wheelbarrow? (that's a "no brainer")
@jimbo10003 Bay City colors consisted of a red/orange colored house with the boom, dipper handle and bucket and car body painted black. If you look when I show you the name on the counterweight you can still see some of the original paint by the letters. I have also seen some restored Bay City shovels at equipment shows that are painted in different colors too.
@deeredv84 It would, but that's the problem I have with a lot of these preservation societies. If more people there actually did what we did and locate and find this old equipment, I guarantee more would be saved. Can't always expect people to come to you.
It is a pity to see an old equipment in a derelict state...Perhaps there are people who restore it to museums, etc. Damn, someone dragged off the engine:) Interesting video, thanks for the excursion!
UNIT bought them because Unit had the better machines and its best to eliminate compitition. Unit made a good move when buying Bay City. Did you get a video of the one far off in the back ground? UNIT and NORTHWEST are the best cranes/shovels ever made!
Awesome video full of great history!

she looks like she would have been a loud cold beast to run in the winter and just as bad in the summer heat. I doubt she was built for comfort...lol
