For handling short and long rails, special work and otherbulky castings and material, the powerful derrick shown inone of the engravings has been erected. This derrick is oper-ated by electric motor, and has materially reduced the cost ofhandling heavy shipments. It has been of particular value inunloading and loading long rail sections. Another exceedingly useful device is the rigging illustratedin this connection for unloading car bodies from steam rail-road flat cars.
