Description
The transfer table was used to move cars into the Derby repair shop.
A car was moved onto the table, the table moved laterally so that the car was in front of the appropriate repair bay and then a cable was attached to the car and a winch was used to pull the car into the repair shop.
Here, it is moving a Bangor and Aroostook U.S. Mail car.
