- dahart 1y agoThere’s a song about Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel, and there’s a monument to the Marion Steam Shovel in Le Roy, New York…
- aspenmayer 1y agoI don't think parking an old steam shovel is much of a monument, but I'll give that one to you. No one built it for display, but they did put one there for that purpose, so I'll meet you halfway. I was wrong to suggest no one would do so, and there is clearly interest in such a thing, but I can't say that I agree that a statue exists. The song exists, the steam shovel monument exists. Appreciate the correction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Steam_Shovel_(Le_Roy,_New_York) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Steam_Shovel_(Le_Roy,_N...
