Don't know when the last time this piece of equipment was used or if it was ever used again. Jordan Spreaders were used for various maintenance projects including ditching and spreading/shaping ballast or for snow plows. Remarkable is the low number, "M-1", attesting to its "seniority" although the standard New Haven steam era headlight has #4259 on the side glass ,maybe from a MUT? Anyway, quite a piece of equipment with a homemade look complete with green porcelain shaded lights, beadboard sheathing and stack for a car stove. A great prototype for a model railroader. Seen at the Framingham Yard.
