CHEAKAMUS SALVAGE (detail)
Original pen & ink drawing issued September 2006
Image size 10" high by 13" wide (250 mm by 275 mm)
(Cropped low resolution image illustrated)
This drawing shows a critical point in a difficult
salvage job done while I worked on the BC RAIL Rock Gangs. Three
locomotives derailed at Mile 63.5. The Rock Gang was called in to blast the cliff face
back so that the wrecking cranes could swing, and to drill
in rock anchors for installation of pulleys to drag
the engines up the slope. All three units were
successfully salvaged and returned to service.
It was typically well below zero while we worked on the project, at upper left
the American Crane's tool car has been helping Fred Hetu (Powderman) and
Csaba Lovey (Driller-Scaler) keep warm while waiting for our next task. Armand the
Carman is directing the lift from the deck of the Industrial Brownhoist seen at
upper right. The image illustrated is a cropped version of the actual drawing.
It is drawn with Pilot DR pigment ink pens and india ink brush pen on
translucent vellum. The drawing is in a 12" x 16" OPUS black metal exhibition frame.
