Seventy-seven Bucyrus Steam Shovels handled the dry excavation of the Panama Canal until 1907, when 24 shovels were purchased from the Marion Steam Shovel Co. ; no other shovels for canal construction were purchased after this...

"Come on, Salome, get hot," shouts Cannon-Ball Casey, engineer de. luxe, to his sawed-off but antagonistic fireman, Luke Beamish, who blows off quite as much steam as either the classy "Oriole Limited" or the relic of the Gay Nineties, the "Isobel." And between "the greatest mistake since Vesuvius" and the little "pipesqueale" there materializes enough excitement to keep the two locomotives "throttle up" throughout most of the picture and the audience free of the blase boredness...
