Caption: Marker detail: Traveling Crane
Additional Description: A traveling crane (top and lower right), rigged high in the air, transported the steel beams to the trestle on which the men worked. The donkey engine (left) was the work horse that hauled the construction materials from the Low Line in Valley City north to the High Line Bridge construction site. This little engine also pushed the construction cranes to the work site.
