Have anyone any ideas where to find relevant reading about cranes?
Anyway, did find this old nice one in the railway museum of Kristianstad
in south-east of Sweden, muscle powered and presumably used for cole.

cheers. que signifie t'elle ?
What informtion do you require? Locations? Number of cranes? Lifting
capacity? Look on eBay or go to abebooks.co.uk and search out a copy of
the Railway Clearing House Handbook of Stations. Chances are, you will
get the David and Charles reprint of the 1904 edition, but there were
also editions from 1956 (Fairly rare) and 1938 (Think rocking horse sh*t)
If you want information about a specific location then email me and I
will try to supply what you want. This information will eventually be
included on my website. Also included on my website is a patchy list of
emergency cranes that were located around the B.R. network in 1960.
Obviously this information only covers the UK.
For those who have never visited my website, it is building up to
provide a complete list of location on British Rail as at 1960, with
links at every junction so that a person can 'travel' from route to
route with the click of a mouse. A work in progress but getting there.
Email address on my website.
