the Burro crane--as produced by the Cullen Friestedt Company, had about
a 50 year production run from the 1920's onward

they were compact and could swing in the tightest loading gage

they had tricks few other makes could imitate---parallel parking and
rolling off flat cars--documented in this footage

advance to 16:30

Good one! And I like the snow blower at about 17:00 also. Interesting piece of equipment.

A search showed that as of 2011 several were still in service on smaller lines.
