The People Behind the Legend

THE MILES BEHIND THE MILESTONES.

A special thank-you to RDO Equipment and Mark Davidson.

Moving 75,000 pounds of American history across the country is no small undertaking.

For years, Mark Davidson has helped bring the legendary 150 HP Case Road Locomotive to audiences across America, generously volunteering his time and contributing to the transportation costs involved in moving this extraordinary machine.

His dedication has helped make unforgettable appearances and historic demonstrations possible.

To Mark, thank you for the miles, the memories, and the unwavering support. And to RDO Equipment, thank you for being part of the journey.

The 150 Case may be the machine that draws the crowds, but it's people like Mark who help keep its legacy moving forward.
