railroad jacks

Posted by Russ / Wyo on Wednesday, August 02, 2006 at 2:27PM :

I picked up (with much difficulty), 3 railroad jacks from a guy who was going to send them to scrap. These things are HEAVY, but anyone wanting one or all is welcome to them for free. Shipping from Evanston, WY could be very expensive, so picking them up would be the best option. I don't have the time to strap them to a pallet and take them to a freight company either. My guess on weight is about 75 lb. each. These are the old ones with the mechanical ratchets and can literally lift locomotives off the ground.

I also got the remains of a Unity spotlight from the same guy. Again, this is free to anyone wanting it. The head is in pretty good shape. The handle is off and the rod is rusted through inside.
