Re: [CBQ] Tracked Steam Shovels

["John Mitchell via Groups.Io" <icrr1680=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

Technically, none  of these photographs are "steam shovels". None are steam powered and first three are pictures of a dragline and the others are of a power shovel i.e. internal combustion engine power. It probably has a gasoline engine, but maybe it has an early diesel engines. Likewise, the dragline has an internal combustion engine. Q off track machines were numbered in three digit numbers. They are likely working one of the Q's ballast pits of which there were several on the Lines West.

Here are some more photos I have acquired.  They are of tracked steam shovels.  I believe they were all taken in the same location.  In one of the photos you can see both shovels.  They look to have been taken in Wyoming or South Dakota.  One is numbered 609 and the other shows a partial number of 02.  I am not sure what the last photo is but it was with the rest of the photos.  Looks like some kind of form for a canal possibly.  Hoping someone may have any idea on where these shovels were based out of.

Thanks,
Brian
