Big Hook Train Crane

Based on the famous Canda Pacific Rail crane the "Big Hook" which had 250 tons of lifting power.

In game this large crane is dependent on its powerful winches up top which give you the muscle to lift derailed trains cars full of oil.
The crane has a generator onboard and a bank of batteries. While it does have a small motor to manouver, it is very dependent on a locomotive to get around long distance.
You may need the boom car to travel in safety as things can get out of hand with the crane loose, found in link below:

Operation of Crane
- extend the boom lifting cables and connect using the connectors to the boom. They are slow be patient
- Either stow the boom on the boom car or begin lifting using the hot keys 1 to lift 2 to lower the cables
- Set the desired boom angle with the lever in front of you. This has a stabilizing effect since the boom lifting capacity changes with extension. What this means is it will keep you from catapulting the load as the angle changes
- Brakes are the lever next to your seat. When moving heavy loads keep in mind that with no brakes it can send you flying down the track
- the three lifting winches on the end are controlled with the controls in the middle. Mag/Up/Down
- Connectors are all controlled with the button directly in front of you
-If the boom begins to bind and will not respond to angle control disconnect it from the power with the breaker to your left. NOTE: angle and height of load.
