CRANE ARRANGEMENT FORTIN E SHOPS LOCOMO- .\ traveling crane arrangement permitting a reduction in headroom in locomotive erecting shops of the cross-stall type hasbeen designed and patented by H. Shoemaker, mechanical super-intendent, Bangor & Aroostook, Derby, Me. Two parallelcranes are used in lifting the locomotive, the spacing being soarranged as to permit the locomotive to be raised between End Elevation of Cranes Showing Method of Lifting a Locomotive The practice usually followed in transferring a locomotivefrom one pit to another is to use one crane with two trolleys,each trolley lifting one end of the engine.
