Throwback Thursday from deep within our historic photo archives. We find a 25-ton, self-propelled, 1954 American Hoist & Derrick diesel-mechanical crane. Portland Terminal Company #198 is photographed here at mile post 415 the Eastern portal of the Hoosac Tunnel in Florida Massachusetts in the mid 1980's. This crane can be spotted today working the rails for the Naugatuck Railroad in Thomaston CT.
