GANO 102
Title:  GANO 102
Description:  A 1923 Alco-built ten-wheeler from the Georgia Northern is displayed at the End of the Line park in Currie, MN. She also apparently worked briefly for Crabtree Coal and passed through the hands of Richard Jensen, according to Chuck's comment below. Looks like a few appliances and pieces are missing, and her eccentric crank has fallen off. I hate it when that happens.
