niles wheel lathe

there is a post on practicalmachinist.com in the antique machinery forum about a niles wheel lathe sitting in the weeds at Armory, Miss.

Maybe Mark needs to add a second wheel shop to keep up with demand, or maybe someone else might need it.. if it's salvagable.
Having seen the "before" pictures of the machines TVRM got from Poland, seems like it would be.

The name of the town is Amory, Miss, which is on the BNSF (Frisco) line from Memphis, TN to Birmingham, AL. It was a division point with roundhouse, et al, in the good old days.

Anybody know whose property that thing is sitting on? It would be nice to get it out of the weather, if there is enough left of it.

Oh great... Like I need another project.

I am surprised Dennis Doherty isn't aware of this one. John Craft, what do you know about this? A serial number would be good to have.
