crc[22] - C&S crane

crc[22] - C&S crane
Spotted this crane at Bolton Abbey station - where there are fairly extensive rebuilding works in progress.

A little research has indicated that this is LNER 8742, one of a pair of 15ton Cowans & Sheldon breakdown cranes, built in 1945/6. It survived to be one of the last BR Civil Engineering cranes. It was used by E&BAR to help relaying under Holywell Bridge in 2003.
Currently out of service awaiting boiler overhaul and rope inspection.
