The View from the Operator of a Piggy-Packer
Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 05:31PM ;)
Get on-board by this Thursday, so you can be in the driver's seat!
This is a view of from the operator's cab of a B&M PC-90 Piggy-Packer. The PC-90's had air actuated controls over hydraulics. So they made a really neat air sound
in operating the lift. The newer MJ 9090 (MiJack) had all electrically operated controls to actuated the hydraulics.
An accident...

Here a photo where the operator accidently dropped a trailer sent by Scott Mikeal (Norfolk Southern trainer on the PC-90 Piggy-Packers, Mi Jacks and other loading equipment). Perhaps there is a reason for the cab to be at mid-ship like on the PC-90s instead like this Hyster equipment. . . because accidents do happen from time to time.
Piggy-Packer action!
Monday, September 19, 2011 at 09:51PM Here are some PC-90 Piggy-Packers in action at Erie Lackawanna's 51St. Yard in Chicago just after the arrival of UPS hot train CX 99 from Croxton, N.J. Notice the UPS Diamond Rio tractor and UPS exterior post van. They come photo courtesy from Paul Tupaczewski and Paul Brezicki.
Enjoy.

Piggy-Packer artwork revisions and the competition!
Monday, September 12, 2011 at 07:35PM A number of artwork has been revised as we re-review our photos and find additional photos. BNSF has yellow wheels. CRR of NJ has a blue stripe and no "Strongman" logo. UP with small logo has no "Raygo Wagner" label on the back.
Below was the competition for the Piggy-Packer. It's the Marathon Le Tourneau Letro-Porter which had a diesel-electric drive. More about the Piggy-Packer in our blog history.
By the way, be sure to reserve before Sept. 29th for your Piggy-Packer.
