Probably the last such big hook train still in use.

Nope! The Ohio Central has one too. Saw it at Train Fest. When I get my film developed, I'll see if I got a pic of it. Pretty sure I did. If so, I'll try and post it.

The Portland & Western has a crane almost identical to that one. It was in Lebanon, Oregon when I went through last week along with it's boom flat made from a cut down passenger car and a mail car. All are painted orange and black, make for a nice looking set.

Thanks, Taylor

Ohio Central has an entire wreck train, purchased from Pittsburgh and Lake Erie. Included are the crane, derrick car, and the "White Castle", a former Pullman converted to work train service. The Castle is used most often as a "home away from home" for those of us who volunteer in OC's Steam Program.
