Dominion Atlantic Railway Track Crane No. 414324.
Built by Industrial Works of Bay City, Michigan in 1913, No. 414324 had a lifting capacity of 100 tons. It spent its last decade on the DAR at Kentville. The crane was saved from scrap by the Scotian Railroad Society at their short-lived museum in Halifax before being transferred in 1980 to the Salem and Hillsborough Railway in New Brunswick (now the New Brunswick Railway Museum) where it is preserved today along with boom car 104095.
