Alco on a trailer
Title:  Alco on a trailer
Description:  The ASV had this S4 donated by the power plant outside of Joplin, MO. Their solution was to build a heavy-haul trailer and truck it themselves. I'm around railroad preservation gsoups a lot, and the most common thing I hear is "we can't do it, too hard, too expensive, etc etc". Yet this small group in Abilene can build their own trailer and tquck a full-size engine several hundred miles.
