With its boom lowered to the ground, QIT's retired Ohio model DE 300 SPL locomotive crane (s/n 4825) sits idle on a deadend yard track near the Havre St-Pierre terminal. Built in 1965, it had a long career as the ore haulers only locomotive crane. It was replaced by a more modern, and higher capacity American model 850-80 in July of 2003.

    Slap some yellow paint on that crane and it’s good to go.
