True, it isn't confined to rails, but it's still big, heavy, and makes a cool sound. We'd wanted to move it off the new siding ROW, but only the bottom engine could be coaxed to life. The upper engine, used to operate the boom and winches, had a hydraulic leak, and a fuel issue. It wasn't moved on this day. |
