Australian Railway Historical Society (ACT Division)

SX Tie (Sleeper) Cranes The Society has two Comeng-built tie (sleeper) cranes, used to extract old sleepers and insert new ones during rail track maintenance. The cranes have been valuable, removing much of the heavy manual work required in the sleeper-replacement programs on the Michelago Tourist Railway. SX 090 and SX 102 were acquired by the Society in 2000.
