Using the 4449 crew's forklift and a cradle they made, we pull the units out
with a come-along into the cradle. Then the forklift lays them down
outside where we are stacking them. Working here are Jim Vanderbeck
who just got off the forklift, Matt Baccitich and David Thompson
in the smokebox. Photo by Terry Thompson
