Most of the wrecking being done today is by contract outfits such as Hulcher. The heavy lifting is done by side-boom Caterpillar Tractors adapted from pipeline laying duties. <br /> <br />There may still be some railroad derrick outfits left around - I'm sure that forum readers can provide examples - but not many. <br /> <br />Hulcher came into prominence about 1970, so it has been a while since the railroads did their own wrecking work. <br /> <br />Old Timer
