I heard the story about the crane from the Museum officials today. It was being stored there by way of a storage/lease agreement with a private individual. The ownership changed without notice to another party that apparently sold it to SBS who showed up unannounced to claim their property.

I found the crane!! I just happened to be riding my bike on the way to the post office when I saw it sitting at Foss Yard in Essexville. It is heading to Saginaw to clean up two derailed hoppers that can be seen clearly from the pedestrian bridge. I believe it was in correction-oscoda all this time.

One can make a mistake and own up to it, but still feel guilty.
