Thanks, Greg!

Jordan Spreader, possibly very much like the one used in construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad

Thanks, Greg Lovelace! Greg did the research that I should have done… Namely, he was able to find a Wikipedia article regarding a railroad “spreader” that Clem was talking about in a few of his diary entries. Here’s the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreader_(railroad)

Thanks again Greg!
