Great videos Marty !!  I especially like the crane video !! I used to work on a wrecker in my early PennCentral days . Ours, out of Ashtabula, Oh. was steam but the boom broke a couple years later & we got an off track Pettibone crane.  The one you have looks like one of the diesel cranes. I remember riding with ours to Buffalo & Collinwood, working with their wreckers on big derailments. It was us younger guys that would sledge the wedges in under the outriggers !!  That was a lot of work back then !! Usually cables would be hung on that big hook to lift cars & engines. The turrets or crane itself don't rotate very fast in operation.

Thanks for sharing that !!  I need to get one someday !!
