The Great Train Recovery!

Post by mick » Thu Apr 25, 2013 10:13 am

The customer called and asked if we could unload his new acquisition! He thought it weighed around 15-20 tons, but recent investigations make it look more in the region of 35-40 tons! We used two rotators and lifted it off, but the track was in the wrong place so we chained the track to the carriage and lifted the track as well, before placing the carriage exactly where he wanted it. Restricted access and power lines were a problem, once again.

On the way back, the Western Star butted into our convoy on its return from another job :wink:
