Found a pretty interesting picture of some AC-series Macks delivering steel beam loads to the Empire state building,( which was being built at the time)neat thing is that the caption said the steel was manufactured "as needed", and was still hot after the train ride from Pittsburgh,PA! The construction project holds a record that still exists today, 100 floors in 100 days...neat to see Mack played a part in the construction of an American icon!...........Mark
