John, If you are interested in Burro cranes; I think the Seashore Trolley Museum still has one in their track department. Their roster only says is is the former Chesapeake & Ohio BC-27. It is now powered by a 6 cylinder Hercules Diesel. Do not know the model number. Several years ago, they sent it down to Boston to help take down an elevated railroad. Hope that helps you list. ted66 |

I don't know anything more about the Seashore Burro than what they have posted. I did write them and ask but never heard back. |
