Dominion Atlantic Railway Burro Crane No. 4042
In 1963 the pile driver No. 400002 was scrapped, but the frame was used to construct a "Burro Crane Transporter" No. 418135, which was a very long flatcar with rails on the deck and a set of ramps to load the Burro on the deck, where there was a coupler mounted to secure it. At the far end there was a support for the boom to rest on. (1)
