Commenting on Rich's crane project above:
Your American Crane project reminded me of a story involving such a machine on the CP. Somewhere in the Canadian Rockies an M of W crew was at work when a grizzly bear showed up and chased a workman. He headed for the crane and climbed the boom. These bears, unlike black and/or brown bears, cannot climb very well however the bear hung around the base. The worker fortunately had some fusees. He struck one and the sulfurous fumes discouraged the bear. I think the story was in TRAINS Magazine. I've always carried a fusee in my fanny pack when hiking after that. To my surprise, I've seen more bears when I hiked in NJ and only one in the ten years I've been up here.
Gents - A safety idea. I've soaked two rags in denatured alcohol and keep them in plastic bags in each car. I rub them on my hands every time I leave the car and wipe down the steering wheel and all surfaces I've touched before entering the house. Also have a "dirty table' where incoming items are place before a wipe down with such rags before they come further into the house. Just a thought.
