Eastern Railroad Discussion > A crane lift at Juniata Shops.Date: 02/06/26 07:24 A crane lift at Juniata Shops. Author: dwi189 Yesterday, a road slug was lifted off a flatcar and lowered to the ground at the Juniata Shop turntable.
First two images... The slug is seen on flatcar....then a Railking pulled the flatcar out from underneath the slug as cranes support the slug . Dave W Edited 1 time(s).

Author: NSDTK Theres a crane inside the building tall enough to carry a locomotive over the others but though all these years no though has ever been given to a taller door.

If something was wrong with it's trucks/wheelsets, I would think it would be easier to have swapped out trucks where it came from than loading then unloading it off a flatcar was.

Locomotives don't really have a "center pin" like freight cars do. Date: 02/07/26 14:33 Re: A crane lift at Juniata Shops. Author: mttrainman1 I have to think a newly enlarged doorway would be less expensive than having that contractor comr in to do this type of lift even one time.

Not quite, remember that would be a capital expense and the ROI would most probably never been in the ball park to justify the capital expense. Posted from iPhone |
