Steve writes wondering about some rail cranes ....
Attached for your information is a scan of the photo I bought of Ebay showing US army 75ton crane 7501 under going lift tests. The reverse of the photo has notes identifying the crane type as a spec MIL-R-3291 and providing serial numbers for 4 x cranes.
58-2842-27-920
58-2842-27-940
58-2842-27-960
58-2842-27-980
Note the reference to the cranes being for "foreign service".
The crane configuration is the same as the ones here in NSW but so far I'm unable to confirm if they are from this allocation.
Can anyone help him ?
