Is this Aerialscope heading to auction or getting cut up for scrap?

You could have said that earlier.....

 

Central States didn't start up until 1983.  This would be a Central, manufactured in St. Louis, MO (aka Central-St. Louis).

With engines, bogies and transmissions bringing in big money, and metal as well, he will make a fortune when its done. Rode this rig a few times. Took a beating.
