A steam crane lifting demonstration. The Illinois Railway Museum. Union Illinois. September 1982 Member's Weekend.

I took this photograph way back in September of 1982.

The Illinois Railway Museum located in the town of Union Illinois, was holding their annual Member's Day Weekend event, and the museum put on this unique steam crane lifting demonstration near the end of the day.

The museum's vinatge steam wrecking crane, is viewed lifting a recently acquired 0-4-0T fireless steam locomotive.
