| Post subject: | Vermont mystery crane |
Anybody know anything about the Browning steam crane in Vermont? It is supposed to be ex-Central Vermont RR. Later used as a barge mounted pile driver on Lake Champlain. As of 2014 abandoned beside Highway 12 between Northfield and Montpelier. http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... key=steveh |

Hi John, I happen to know the owner, what would you like to know? Also it has been moved since that photo was taken. Stephen |

Hi Stephen, If the crane is ex-Central Vermont RR what was its number? What is its builder's number? Who used it as a piledriver? I have five Browning cranes used in Vermont. 1404 #5 DT 1916 Central Vermont RR St. Albans, VT 1706 #5 DT 1918 Central Vermont RR St. Albans, VT 2305 #8 DT 1925 Lake Champlain Transportation Burlington, VT 4202 ML-200 1953 Grand Trunk Western RR Albans, VT 4345 DE-300 30t 1956 Grand Trunk Western Ry #50395 Island Pond, VT Canadian National Ry #50395 The last two were diesel so they are out of the running.
