Moving an Enginehouse

The railroad is going through some changes, and first on the list is moving the old enginehouse.  How is that done? With a lot of rigging, jacks, bars, and one heavy duty flatcar...



Before: This is where the old enginehouse has lived for the past couple of years.

-----

 



Jack up the building, set I-Beams under it up to the flatcar.

-----

 

Slide the building up on the flatcar.

-----

After rolling it down the track, slide it off on the new site.

 

There you have it - how to move an enginehouse.

There are still a few details to finish, but the hard part is done.
