I'm looking for any information regarding the use of crawler tractors in rail yards. Pictures would be great as would written descriptions or evidence of purchases.
I recently purchased a 1919 Cleveland Tractor-Cletrac crawler that was supposedly used in one of the rail yards in the Portland, OR area.
According to the man I got it from, the previous owner said it came out of one of the "humpyards" in the pacific northwest--purportedly owned by Burlington Northern because of the green and white paint on the tractor.
I'm not sure what other companies might have used that color scheme in that area.
I'm restoring it mechanically but won't repaint it to the original green/red Cletrac colors it if I can prove it was actually used by a rail company.
Thanks,
