Fantastic real photo postcard! This shows the Bucyrus Steam Shovel & Dredge Co lifting a train from the water - you can even see the water dripping from the bottom of the train as it rises up. A crowd of men and boys watch from the shore line. The equipment is on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway line, and there\'s a number X6512 under the LS & MS letters at right. Bucyrus was located in South Milwaukee WI, and the LS & MS line traversed several states. I was unable to find any documentation to locate this particular incident. Enjoy!
