Midwest Old Threshers, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, Labor Day Weekend!

 Here is a video from the early 1960's that is well worth watching. I recognize some of the men I see on engines, though I don't know their names. Stan Matthews brought Number 6 locomotive to Mt. Pleasant in 1960, and that year they ran it on a short track with chairs on flat cars, so this video was shot a year or two after that. Stan would be the guy at the throttle. You can ride behind Number 6 if you get yourself to Mt. Pleasant, Thursday through Labor Day.
