A very heavy go-with! I found this back in '98. I talked with a fellow collector who said he has walked many, manny miles of the B&O and never seen one of these so it must be uncommon. Approx. 8 foot tall with a tapering base. It was halfway out of the ground where I found it (an obviously abandoned area - tracks were not even together in some places), but I still had to "walk" up the shaft to the head and use my 200+ pounds to jump up and down on it to totally free it. The walk back to my Dad's truck was a long one.
