  Pieter,  Actually that's pretty impressive.  I really like the overhead crane 
similar to the Leigh Valley version.  That is the best and probably the safest 
way to do a lift of that size--with a single crane.  

  What do you think the two braces running from the gon to the ground are for?

    Not quite what Bob described, but still impessive.

    Back in the "days of yore", Santa Fe used to haul structural steel out of a 
steel plant in Lemont. A string of those cars made for a long train indeed, 
loaded or empty.

    Pictures? Who takes pictures of stinking old trains?
