On this dreary May 1975 afternoon, C&O GL6 sits patiently outside the roundhouse in St. Thomas, ON hoping for something to do before someone decides it no longer has any use. This Jordan spreader was built around 1924 and is a standard 2-180, translating to center cab, low front blade, articulated side wings and pneumatic cylinders. It is an early front braced riveted design, and may have been rebuilt from a knuckle type unit.
