Working Timetable entries
This page holds a summary of notes matching crane numbers to working timetable entries. This allows several points to be followed - the period in which a crane was worked, and for much of the NZR period, whether it operated in the North or South Island. The data is not foolproof as some cranes remained listed in the working timetable after they were derelict, and conversely some did not appear in the working timetable for a period after introduction - such as the NEI Clarke Chapman 60 tonners which were introduced in 1980, but don't appear in the timetable till after 1983.
