Unloading CN F7Au 9173 at Fort Erie (Part 2)

Once the truck was on the road from Ottawa to Fort Erie, it was decided to send him straight to Fort Erie for unloading Tuesday night as the trailer was required for first thing Wednesday morning. It was decent driving as the truck showed up at Attar Metals at 810pm. Milton and Clayton were ready, as were some of the NRM members, to unload the and get the truck on its way.

The cab arrived in Fort Erie under sunny, but dark, skies.

?The entire lift took only 40 minutes, from the time the truck arrived to the time it pulled out.? It was an excellent lift, and everything went great. The cab is now resting on the ground at Attar, waiting for a bit of work to be done before moving to the shop and being placed inside for display.
