CN 50022 was an Industrial Works 160 ton capacity crane, serial number 4296, built in 1922.

Paul, thank you for the information on this crane as well as the pile driver. I had no idea these were that old. I knew that the 50022 was once steam powered and rebuilt to diesel power. If CN needed a heavier capacity crane, they called upon CP’s 250 ton crane from Sudbury. Lots of variety back then!
