The wrecker at Galesburg was a Bucyrus Erie 250 tonner built right hear
where I live in South Milwaukee, WI. I have a picture or two of it in the
early BN era, but you can also see some really nice pictures of it in BRHS
Bulletin #18. None of the one's in the Bulletin shoe the shark's teeth, but
I believe one of my shots in the BN era does.
If I can scrounge up the negative I can send you a copy.
