Speaking of central Mn. My former boss's Dad was telling stories way back in the 60's. He had started a dray line* during prohibition, in Brown County. Local big time "shiner" was setting up along the river & wanted someone to haul sugar from railroad to his still. To try to throw the Feds off, he had boxcar of sugar spotted on a remote siding**.

Alternative was to send message to Mankato to send a pusher to help up the hill. More than you wanted to know. Willie

Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
