Not to change the subject, but have been reviewing all the threads on the q&a forum and came across yours. I do have a picture of the 100 ton derrick that was stationed at Sanford, FL before the RR decided to use outside contractors. It was SCL 771153, taken in the backshop of the old Waycross engine house. I believe it has been scrapped. Waycross had 2 250tom steam derricks on standby back when I worked there 1975-1977. No pics, sorry.
