Nice atmospheric shot John. Looks like the steam derrick is steaming also. Did you read the recent story in Classic Trains that these cranes were often fired up for work just around the yards dealing with anything that needed lifting. Fixing shifting loads was one thing I never realized.

Reports are that the 200-ton Industrial Brownhoist crane, B-19 seen far right, was converted from steam to diesel in 1957 and resides today in Ft. Wayne, IN.
