Close Up of Hydraulic Trailer
On February 17, 2012 I drove to Parrish, Florida to record the Placement of the Orange Blossom Special Steam Locomotive, on the track at the Florida Railroad Museum in Parrish, Florida. This Photo shows the Hydraulic Jack Trailer, which controls the Jacks that position the Locomotive to move it from the Cradle to the Track. All this is being done by the Employees of R.E. Johnson & Sons, Structural Movers (aka: Johnson & Sons Housemoving).
I wasn't able to get photos of the Locomotive in route because of delays the Rigging Company had in getting government approval from the Florida DOT regarding Permits and approvals for the Route (which particular roads) to be taken between Orlando and Parrish. I couldn't keep track of all of the reschedules of the delivery and consequently missed the opportunity to photograph the move itself. During the delay, the Locomotive and Tender were stored in the Old Amway Arena Parking Lot on the Northwest Side of Interstate Route 4 in Downtown Orlando prior to the movement to Parrish.
