Very nice indeed!
TH&B X-755 is an American Hoist & Derrick model 830 DE locomotive crane, serial number J-3066, built in 1952.
When new, it was equipped with a GM Detroit Diesel 6-71 engine producing 145 hp @ 1600 rpm, a 50 foot 2-piece boom, with 15′ removeable center section, radius indicator, and 20″ double sheave hook block.
Other options ordered were a tagline winder, outriggers, cab heater, running lights and a front windshield wiper.
It was shipped new from the factory to TH&B in July 1952.
TH&B X-755 went on to became CP 414226.
