Comments on: Now this will brighten up any dingy wreck site! QNS&L 1200, a Bucyrus Erie 250 ton capacity wrecker sits majestically outside the locomotive & car repair shop in Sept-Iles waiting for its next assisgnment. 1200′s twin sits on the other end of the line in Labrador City.

The American & Ohio Locomotive Crane Co. in Bucyrus, Ohio continues to rebuild railway cranes giving them additional life beyond their already long service years. It is not uncommon to see cranes built in the 40′s and 50′s still in service today. I will post a few more photos of some older cranes as well as recent rebuilds. The technology in railway cranes has changed very little in the last 50 years.

Amazing how those old cranes tend to survive so long!
