Is this device in Alpena, Michigan, a steam-era Whiting hoist, designed to lift engines off their drivers? Was it once part of a shop complex here? http://www.michiganrailroads.com/MichRR ... oto41B.htm |

It looks like four portable jacks on a concrete jacking pad. Old, but NOT steam era. |

Portland, OR SP Brooklyn Yards used to have such a set up for jacking locomotives. It was removed years ago. Smokebox |
