That is a good informative video, Karl

I can remember my dad who worked for the IC railroad for years, speaking of the Waukesha branded overhead crane he used in the railroad foundry. This would have been late in the steam engine era of the '50's at Paducah, Ky. At least he called it a Waukesha, may have been only the engine powering the crane unit, which I think was a gantry crane.
