Ancillary to Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, I used some other gear to do a study on this bit of rust that was also a pinhole subject. I noted the construction of the vertical column resembled a Phoenix Iron product, and sure enough eventually spotted the Phoenix name amidst the rust. This is in Boyertown, PA in what I suspect was once a freight station and small railroad yard.
Very nicely done. This crane is a local landmark near my home that was recently saved from destruction. To the best of my knowledge the crane hasn't been used in over 50 years. Don't think it's moved either. The rail yard was mostly taken up in the last 2 years.
