[SEL] Compressed Air Car? -- OT

[FRM8198 at aol.com]

Hi List,
Before electricity was available in Lead, South Dakota, the local  gold mine 
used high pressure air engines to pull their  mining cars in and out of mine 
shafts.  I was there about 20 years ago  and several air engines were on 
display.  They looked like a  small locomotive with a large air tank.
