Algoma Central Railway Equipment Guide - Service Equipment

Service Equipment

This roster is derived strictly from photographs, most of which are from the late 1970's. Little is actually known about purchase/retirement dates and there is some, but very little, here about earlier equipment. However, this listing shoud be an excellent reference for 1970's-1980's modellers. If anyone has photos of service equipment, please scan them and send them to me as email attachments, and I will place them in the photo gallery. If this is not possible, send me the car's number as well as a detailed description. In either case, please include any information, including location, but most importantly, date. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

10214 Crane
Diesel Crane - The ACR owned an example of a rare Canadian crane. Dominion Engineering Works of Lachine, Quebec was Canada's crane and shovel manufacturer. The company, originally known as Dominion Hoist and Shovel, later the Power Crane and Shovel Division of Dominion Engineering, produced a full line of crawler, truck mounted and rail mounted cranes and shovels. Dominion shovel-cranes were popular with Canada's railways.

Beginning in 1945 Dominion offered a small rail mounted machine intended to compete with the Burro crane. It was called the "Dominion Bantam Rail Crane". Ten were sold and one, serial BC-108B went to the ACR in 1954.

It had a long life, lasting at least until 1980.
