Love the crane, the boom car's real neat too. See you at Monroeville. Got some new stuff to show off
Keith,
Back then, it was much easier to obtain permission to access the property than it is now. Of course at that time, I was still a USS Homestead Works employee(at least on paper) and a veteran and a train nut, so I think the super cut me a break and wrote me an access permission paper.
I know you'll bring something interesting to Monroeville that you have tortured. You need to get that Pennsy crane repainted into URR colors. See you at Monroeville!

I sometimes go to the Rook yard (WLE, formerly of PWV) in greentree with my grandpa. Access is easy cause there's no barrier or fences in a couple areas, and there's always action.

Tortured is an understatement! And you still never relettered that conrail crane you don't have!!
