Located at the Collier State Park Logging Museum is a road grading piece of equipment. It was manufactured by the Austin Company (which later merged to form the Austin-Western Road Company) and is known as the 'Rip Snorter.' I wasn't able to locate any other info on this model. It is connected to a steam tractor, another static display.

Many static displays exist here, plan on spending at least one hour to view and appreciate all there is to offer here.
