Cover: The picture on our cover illustrates a resourceful, new way to brace flatcar loads that railroads don't handle every day. You're looking at a 72,000-pound dragline excavator camshaft shipped recently by the Bucyrus-Erie Co. from South Milwaukee, Wis., to Evansville, Ind., as it was ready to move from our Lake station on a low bed trailer. Inspecting the shipment, unusual for a trailer-on-flatcar movement, are D. l. Crittenden, our assistant district manager-sales at Milwaukee (left), and Arthur Kroencke, Bucyrus-Erie's traffic manager.
