McCloud Rails : Equipment & Rolling Stock Details

MCR 70

The #70 is an Orton-built crane purchased from the U.S. Navy in the 1960’s. It has been used on the McCloud for various tasks, mostly wreck clean-up.



The #70 came to the McCloud wearing U.S. Navy gray, which it retained for several years before receiving this solid orange job. Photo from the Travis Berryman collection.



The #70 is seen here in 1984 shortly after receiving the road's new brown, orange, and black paint job. Pat Holden photo, Jeff Moore collection.
