Slightly 'off topic' but still relevant is an amazing archive of
historical photographs of US wrecking cranes at work - the
Ron V. Nixon collection (added 4th December 2013). If you're a wrecker
fan, don't click this link unless you've got 2 or 3 hours spare.
Note that Industrial and Brownhoist merged to form Industrial Brownhoist,
the names quoted reflect the status of the company / companies at the time of
construction.

Anders Benson writes (13th January 2017):
"She started life as a Brownhoist 120 at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine before she was sold off to the BAR. At some point she was converted from steam to diesel power and I was told that she has had other major components replaced. As a carknocker and part of the wrecking crew I worked in close quarters with this beauty for several years when she was owned by Montreal, Maine, & Atlantic. She was in regular use up until that road's recent dissolution."
Colbt Mills has sent me a recent picture of the crane with
a new paint job, it's in regular use.
