South Carolina Ports Authority, Charleston, SC
The crane was located at the Port of Charleston. The shear-leg crane had a capacity of 400 tons. It was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in September of 1989.
The centerpiece of the Carolina Division will be a water to rail
transfer at the port of Charleston.
During my research, I have found the following cranes doing water to
rail transfer.
Originally, I was going to model the crane at Chatannooga, and I
started to build it. That build was stopped, when I found the crane at
Bratislava, in Slovakia, it matched exactly what I was looking for.
Recently, I found that the Port of Charleston had a 400 ton crane, and

The photos were found on the port's website.
