Wonderful vid! Wife and I from Wisconsin took a vacation to Rocky Mtn NP about a month ago and happened upon this piece of mechanical history on a day trip to the south - my elderly dad had asked me to take some pictures of Eldora where he and my grandparents vacationed in 1939, and Nederland is very near.
i remember seeing the TV show where they found this old beast, and had to figure out how to get it out, and ended up using compressed air to get it to move. great piece of history!
This thing is really cool.
