@@Xpl0r Nope.There are several VolkerRail Kirow rail mounted cranes available ,largest has a lifting capacity of 125 tonnes, but current site conditions,wouldn't be safe to use,hence the 800-tonne crane, each waggon has 80 tons of cement in them, so a larger crane with a greater reach is needed to lift waggons over the tracks at Petteril Bridge junction.
Thank you for this video 👍 Very informative, with bonus footage from Upperby 🌟
Thanks as I was nearby I had a wander over 📷👍
I wonder what happened to all the rail cranes ?
Sold or broke up ?
