This is a revisit of one of my favorites in Fitchburg, "Jumbo", the B&A Traction Elevator, in Fitchburg City Hall, Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
As the name implies, it's a "gignatic" elevator, at least in terms of it's 2,000 pound weight capacity, for it's size. That part =IS= amazing!
  This is a piece of art. It's old, a little worn, but it's beautiful. Unmodded (maybe the infared sensors was about it), and in most cases, has a small amount of Pre-Door. It's a Must-Ride for Elevator Geeks in the area.
We even get a glimpse of the mechanicals in the shaft.
NOTE: Had to end in the Basement, because the 1'st floor landing got a bit busy.
