Burro Crane
This Burro Crane, Model 30, was manufactured by the Cullen-Friestedt Company of Chicago, Illinois. It was built for the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway and delivered to Piney River, Virginia on February 6, 1952. The crane was also owned by the Everett Railroad and the Rockhill Trolley Museum. The WK&S acquired the crane from the Trolley Museum in February 2006. The crane arrived in serviceable condition and was immediately put to use in track construction projects.
The picture above and the one below show the crane transporting a rail to the shop and setting it in place.
