[SEL] Steam Shovel on the history ch

[Alan Bowen]

Frank,
  What you watched was a repeat.
  Check out

  And read this
   
  The moving of the steam shovel will be aired this Tuesday, May 16th, at 9 p.m. on the History Channel. But locals who want to see the show on a big screen and hobnob with the major players can see it at the premiere showing at Gilpin County High School this Saturday, May 13, from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. 

  That Tuesday, May 16 was in 2006.

  I saw a lot of nice Mega Movers DVDs for sale, but I didn't find that move available.
  Bummer,

  Just caught a History Channel Mega movers on the saving and moving of 
a 1923 Bucyrus B50 Steem shovel. Good show. I hope they repeat it.
Here is a little info from the web.

Does anyone have any more info on it? How does it compare to the 
Bucyus-Erie 50-B steam shovel at Rollag? They look like the same machine.
