The ex LNER/BR Cowans & Sheldon of Carlisle built 6wVBCT Steam Crane No. DRC80116 is currently awaiting a boiler overhaul and an inspection of the ropes. Having last been steamed a few years ago No. DRC80116 was used in intensive use during January 2003 to help with the relaying under Holywell Bridge, and the other work connected with that along the Embsay & Bolton Abbey line then.
