Caterpillar 583H sideboom         
When fully assembled this machine is used to lift derailed train cars back into position on the rails. There is usually two of these working together at once. These have rubber tracks so that they can easily move across railyards without damaging any rails. Hulcher Professional Services is a national railroad contractor specializing in derailments. Four of their trucks were here at the CSX yard in South Connellsville, Pa for a small derailment at Green Junction where CSX and SWP meet. The tracks have been bad at the location for quite a while and it finally caught up with them.
