Title Union Pacific 250 Ton Wrecking Derrick
Creator American hoist & Derrick Co.
Contributors Dennis Durbano
Image Captions This was built by American Hoist & Derrick Co. (Industrial-Brownhoist) in 1967 for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Originally assigned to Little Rock, Arkansas, it was acquired by UP when it and the MP merged. It was retired and stored in Salt Lake City during the 1990s until donated to the museum by Dennis Durbano. These large cranes were popularly called big hooks, and were the mainstay of wrecking trains across the country until powerful, more mobile bulldozers and truck cranes rendered them obsolete.
