Crane |

An old crane rusts on a portion of wooden trestle. A contractor brought in this piece of equipment some time in the 70's or early 80's in a failed attempt to remove a section of the steel span. The span fell in the water and the crane was subsequently abandoned and has been here ever since. It's cooling fan was still spinning like crazy in the wind. |
