Does anyone know if there is a site or group that deals with Ohio Steam Cranes? We have a 20 ton model at the West Coast Railway Heritage Park in Squamish and want to find out more about the beast. The crane has been restored but not operated. It is serial #2055 and last worked at Canada Creosoting near New Westminster. It received a new boiler in 1939 built by Vancouver Iron Works.Any help is appreciated. Web site is www.wcra.org

Grant: I emailed the info that you requested on the Ohio Locomotive Crane from Bucyrus, Ohio to your museum web site. This could possibly be the oldest Ohio still in existence! It is certainly one of the last in steam. By the way, the company is still here!Kevin Kohls
