ARHS Vic Museum - Way and Works Collection

The Way and Works branch of any railway offers the most visually interesting equipment. Since most of it is purpose built, often out of something else they often have a terrible industrious ugliness which is somehow visually appealing. The specimens within the museum collection are no exception to this generalisation.

Picture	Identifier	Information
		K Class Yard Crane	Yard Crane built by Rawlings used for and goods handling within yards.
		Yard Crane	No. 36 Yard Crane built by Gibson Battle used for and goods handling within yards.
		Steam Yard Crane No. 2	Built in 1929 used for minor derailments. It is hard to tell from this photo, but I suspect this unit was built on top of some hapless steam engine rather than being built as a crane from scratch.
		Wrecking Crane	Built in 1942 at the Victorian Railways Newport Workshops this crane was used in heavy derailment work all around the state. This is another unit at the museum it is easy to see, but hard to photograph. The only way to get a good photo of it would be to climb on top of one of the other exhibits which is certainly frowned upon.
		Crane Wagon 73	Built in 1859 for small goods.
		Turntable	Special purpose wagon HZL 2111 and a small turntable.
