I thought you model train guys might enjoy seeing this.
These were expensive. They had a lot overhead.

There is a locomotive shop of this vintage still standing in Philadelphia. It is now used for other purposes. I was in it about six years ago and was certain I took photos, but they might have been on a camera that crashed about that time. It still had a crane set-up like this and I was told it was capable of lifting locomotives.

By Richard Eagle Idaho Falls on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 10:45 am:Thanks Jerry. I got side tracked.
