Railway Cranes Vol 3

Peter Tatlow's background as a professional engineer leant considerable weight to his two previously published volumes on Railway Breakdown Cranes both of which have received unqualified praise from reviewers. This new book looks at the smaller cranes used by the engineers and other departments mostly on track work though sometimes they operated at stations on other duties. These smaller cranes, which were mostly self-propelled, were powered by either by steam or diesel though in order to present a complete picture of this range of specialist vehicles, some hand cranes are included.
