Somehow I got the idea that Milwaukee wrecker X17 had been given to the Minnesota Transportation Museum in St. Paul. When I asked them they had never heard of it. Anybody know what happened to it? |

Was that the one in storage in Rosemont? If so, it was scrapped back around 2000. It was in the way of a MNDOT highway project. The main gear ring was fractured. Colfax RR Museum got parts from it. |

We got the hooks and the control levers and lights. We salvaged the motor, but that was sold for reuse by a trucker. |
