Comments on: Canadian Forest Products Limited (CANFOR) American Hoist & Derrick model 408-CD locomotive crane, serial No. 2338 (order No. J-1638) is seen on the railroad when new in 1948. I do not have a location to map as there was no information on the photo retrieved from the cranes master file, but I will assume it is near Woss, BC. This logging railroad crane was delivered new in January 1948 and was equipped as follows: Engine: Caterpillar D17000 174 hp @ 950 rpm Starter: gas & electric Boom: 50′ log loader Outriggers Tagline Track Clamps 53 cfm air compressor Side rods It was scrapped in Woss, BC June 1985 http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

In addition to the CANFOR crane pictured above, my records indicate only 8 other American cranes received the side rod option. These 8 were all constructed between November 1945 and July 1956 and were delivered to various companies in the United States. Thanks for the comment Jeremy.
