Comments on: TH&B 26, an International hi-rail boom truck sits next to the Aberdeen yard tool house inside the gate just off Studholme Rd. A nice versatile maintenance vehicle with hi-rail gear, extra crew compartment, squirt-stick hydraulic boom & outriggers, and dump box.

The first Signal Gang I worked on had the same type truck but with a folding hydraulic boom and minus the hyrail gear. The Junior guys all got to ride on the foam covered bench seat in the rider cab, a not so comfortable ride.

Thanks Bruce. I’m glad to pass on not only my old photos, but some of my knowledge gleaned from 47 years in the railway industry.

I think I have might have seen this truck in my travels past Aberdeen Yard. I am enjoying your knowledge on what keeps the railroad running.
