It takes a crane …

… to build a crane.

Hard to see from our backyard, but the work on replacing the train bridges is getting serious. They cleared all the trees and brush from the siding and now the heavy equipment is moving in.

We thought the excavator and bulldozer were the heavy equipment — they were just preparing a solid platform for the big, red crane.

But to get the big, red crane in place, they brought it in in pieces and have been spending the last few days putting it together (with its little brother, the white crane).

It’s been fascinating to watch.

The view from the train station, looking across King Street is a bit better.

I think they finished this afternoon and the white crane has moved on now.
