Dave Rotigel and his big 16 horsepower Galloway were spotted by Merle. Mr. Rotigel was well known among antique engine fans, and he would haul his engines great distances to show them. He purchased an Austral engine from a California collector and hauled it all the way home to Pennsylvania. He showed that engine at Evansville, and also this Galloway. Dave Rotigel has been gone for a year now, and he will be remembered and missed by all of his engine friends. This video was shot by Rob Gill, who lives and breathes old engines. Rob makes new brass tags for old engines that have lost theirs, and that specialty keeps him busy.
I shot a brief video, too.
