Track & Time
Author: MacBeau

With traffic backed-up on both ends of Clover Creek Canyon, a self-propelled crane passes Little Springs while heading west toward the siding at Richmond on UP’s Caliente Subdivision.

What would the railroads do without the Ohio Crane? Self-propelled, go anywhere (on the rails at least), the work horse of the industry. Anywhere you go (on the UP anyway) you'll find an Ohio Crane. Thanks for the post, Mac, these guys don't get much glory in photos (guilty as charged) but they're everywhere there's work to be done.-BMT

Hey Mac,
What year was this taken? From the concrete ties I would say sometime in the 90's.

That is one fine photograph. Far too much effort is usually spent on just photographing locomotives, and too little effort made with the rest of railroading. Pictures like this help to balance out the disparity.
