Cowans Boyd Crane

Attached are a few photos from late in 2010 of the Cowans Boyd Crane stored at Chullora after 'falling over' at Sefton a few years back.

The jib truck is made on the frame of 48131.

Enjoy

  1. WHAT A MONSTER. I HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHERE THIS WAS.
    IS IT STILL IN THE SAME LOCATION ,LOOKS LIKE ITS NEAR A PERIMITER FENCE ?
    WHO ACTUALLY OWNS IT?
    IS IT REPAIRABLE?
    SO MANY QUESTIONS !!!

  2. The crane is sitting at the Railcorp Chullora compound on the Hume Highway and Worth St.

    It did have a blue tarp covering it, but that has blown off exposing the roll over damage.

    Railcorp own it and I would say it will never be repaired.

    Does anyone know what jobs it has been to, and what jobs it has actually worked?

    Cheers
