[AT] Wisconsin old tractors / old trains

[Mike Sloane]

I have some images of various tractors loaded on flat cars that I will 
post to my albums later today.

I checked with one of my model railroad groups, and they assured me, as 
Guy stated, that the two Baldwin companies shared nothing except a 
common name.

It is snowing very hard here in NW NJ, and the power went out, so I am 
running on the 25KW backup generator, hooked up to my Farmall 560D. So 
far, so good...
