Not sure what I just saw at Rochelle webcam. It was a flatcar with a crane, another flatcar with something on it and a caboose. The three cars were moving and there was engine noise, but no engine, maybe that was the second flat car?

My American derrick is unpowered, but the real ones were powered, and were capable of moving several cars...

Wayne, thanks I wish I caught a better screen shot of it.
I believe this is the same crane and caboose. I caught it at Rochelle in 2014.
Modeling whatever I can make out of that stash of kits that takes up half my apartment's spare bedroom.
Were Magnetic Rail Defect Detector and Sperry cars used for maintenance?
Cool find. That caboose is an ex-LV, ex-CR, ex-CNW Northeastern style caboose. One of the last of its kind still in service.

Neat pictures everyone!
OK, I'm curious. How do they get the various track maintenance cars on and off of the flat beds?

Portion of Maint Equip Load Yard - Franklin Canyon on ATSF 1970's (west of Martinez CA) A FREMO module (feaured in at least one magazine) was built which accurately modeled the location.
I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
