I am more interested in what they are actually building!! Any websites or drawings on what the bridge will look like when finished?? Now if there were a big Demag or Liebherr on site....those would be good pics!  I am sure the Manitowoc guys love these though....they are some nice pictures.. -Alvin.
The beatings will continue until Morale improves......

Cool shots! Looking forward to next weekend. Going to be a Sweet looking bridge coming right off of downtown. But have you noticed where it is going? That thing is going to end up in one of the crappiest parts of Dallas.  Weird. Oh well,We will cross that bridge when we come to it.  I know, Bad humor.

Yeah nxt week is going to be fun can not wait to see this again, hopefully the deep south guys take a day off. You are right that bridge runs right through the nasty part of town, maybe this is the stimulus for the homeless and hookers down in dallas Bob I am just trying to keep us cookie guys fed, anyone close to Dallas you have some great cranes to see and you can get nice and close.

Was definately a good time. Weather was perfect aside from being blistering humid. Our photos are much of the same, but here are a few more for you guys. This was without a doubt a once in a lifetime chance to get this close to a 1000 ton crane.   Here you can clearly see jason molesting the machine. Just playin'. The shot really gives you an idea of some of the tubing diameter on this machine. Everything is massive.  Here's Jason snapping a few more pics. You really get a feel for how big this thing is when you are standing above the tray looking down at the weights.  Can't wait until the luffer is on. For those of you within driving distance of Dallas, you should really make a trip to see this thing. No security or fencing. It would be worth the drive.
