I only worked on it for a week or so but we got to lift the car up with a crane and put it on the trucks, so that was sweet. I also got to cut up a lot of scrap crane rail as an apprentice, lots of fun that is. We hoisted the special welding machines that they use to weld the new crane rails in for the overhead cranes that hoist the ladles of liquid steel.
I gotta admit, Coke Quenching Car isn't what I had imagined. I was picturing something more like these...
