5:18 -That was quick. First, I was wrong. It was not a crawler but a four wheeled vehicle now backing down Forestry its job accomplished or not. It had a telescoping boom that was extended and the op had the boom at about a 30 degree angle to the pavement. It must have done its job as it had four straps in tension lifting something with its hoist block but was so hard to see in the shadows at this time of the day. The truck is back sitting parallel to the driveway area next to the Dome. Interesting.

6:18- The truck has now backed up to another crane and that crane has just lifted a steel plate used on roads for cars to drive over temporarily during road construction onto the forward flatbed of the truck - maybe that was what the other crane helped with? The crane just lifted a second and third steel plate onto the rear of the truck, the crew is securing it and will drive off when that is accomplished. The steel plates weigh in at several tons each. Now they are loading what looks like part of a boom on top of the plates. [B]Perhaps these are the final remains of 5c - the steel plates being used to level it and protect the street.[/B] Lots of straps to secure the boom on top of the plates! The plates come in various sizes: 8' x12' 3,721lbs, 8' x 16' 5,248 lbs and the monster steel road plate 8' x 20' 6,534 lbs. Looked like for the size of the truck the 8' x 16' were used. Hope the driver isn't going over any flimsy bridges - that is one heavy load. And the truck lumbered off at 6:27.

And another flatbed has backed up to receive more at 6:37. Have fun!
