- Description
-
These huge 200 ton rail cranes were once the main workhorses of the industry for use in train derailments, capable of lifting the heaviest locomotives back onto the tracks. Nowadays, however they have been replace by rubber mounted truck cranes. This unit is on display at the Alberta Rail Museum in north Edmonton, Alberta (Namao)

The crane has three hooks, labeled 100, 1100 and 3800. I assume those are the lifting capacities but I'm mystified as to the units of weight. It can't be pounds, yet tons seems too large. Wikipedia lists the Union Pacific "Big Boy" as the heaviest locomotive ever made, at 548 tons.
