D16 is a self-propelled electric crane that stayed with TMER&T and was inherited by Milwaukee &Suburban Transport, seen here on June 18 2004.
It was used at Cold Spring Shops until the mid 1960s before being donated to TWERHS. I possess a Paul Weyrich photos of this unit working the Milwaukee Road interchange at Cold Spring during 1964-65.
M&ST could still use electric rail equipment at Cold Spring because of 600 VDC used by the trackless trolleys.
It is listed as a 4 motor Utility Derrick, manufactured by Brown Hoist Company in 1923 on an inventory list dated December 31, 1946. TWERHS later sold D16 to the IRM.
