786 returns to Texas!
Amid some cool & damp weather, all of the 786 parts returned successfully to the ASTA rail yard in Cedar Park, Texas - uneventfully! Special thanks go to Crocker Cranes for their safe & expert overhead handling and to Freight Management Incorporated who were flexible & resourceful in arranging for all 6 trucks & necessary permits.
The following 2 short videos (thanks to Dan Doggett) show the unloading operations for the frame & boiler:
