Eric Knight

Hello and good day.
My name is Eric Knight and I am 31 years old living in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania. I just wanted to say what a wonderful museum you guys have. It does my heart good to see you guys dedication to keeping these beautiful pieces of rolling history rolling and doing the jobs they were meant for.

Back when they were built men relied on muscle, comrades and sheer brains to run and maintain them. Not like today where if someone gets hurt you just sue the heck out of everyone. And the new machines just don't have the same appeal. Nor do they have such pride and heart and soul built into them. Thank you for the great work. Please tell all the guys if you remember.

I do have one question for you as well. I looked at the old Euclid that was reputed to have been a dumptruck on the Hoover Dam and is now one beastly wrecker. First of all I am in love with it and all your machines. Awesome that it runs and works still (Can you say the same for anything built today 30 years from now?). Is that where the term "Yuke" comes from? I wish to God I could get out there with you guys and just push a broom or shovel coal. I would be right in hog heaven. Great work, it really is beautiful.
