Did you know????
This is actually one of the most historically significant artifacts at the Colebrookdale Railroad!! She is getting a fresh coat of paint and new lettering.
The crane was built by the legendary Phoenix Iron Company of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, likely around 1867, making it older than the railroad itself. The Phoenix Iron Company was one of America's most important iron manufacturers and supplied bridges, structural iron, railroad equipment, and even Civil War artillery.
The most remarkable part of the crane is its support structure. It incorporates a Phoenix Column, an innovative hollow wrought-iron column developed by the Phoenix Iron Company. This design was revolutionary in the 19th century because it was exceptionally strong yet relatively lightweight. Phoenix Columns were used in major engineering projects, including portions of the Washington Monument and even components associated with the Eiffel Tower.
One of the most interesting connections is that visitors who see this crane are looking at a product of the same company that built the famous Phoenix Iron Company bridge used on the Colebrookdale line. It is believed to be the only operating Phoenix crane in the United States. Preservationists have also described it as possibly the only surviving Phoenix Column freight crane of its type. It is estimated to be approximately 160 years old.

Did you know—though it bears repeating—that you may play a direct hand in introducing Pennsylvania schoolchildren to the romance and significance of the Colebrookdale Railroad, gratis to the students themselves? Through the Rails of Revolution: The American, Industrial, and Environmental Revolutions program, young minds are conveyed not merely from station to station, but across the great turning points of our national story.
Your beneficence does double duty. It underwrites practical, life-altering vocational and career training for at-risk youth, equipping the next generation of craftsmen, mechanics, and professionals whose skills will keep the wheels of industry—and opportunity—turning.
There is, moreover, a practical inducement worthy of even the most hard-headed financier: a handsome 90 percent tax credit on your contribution.
An investment in education is an investment in lives reclaimed and history preserved. One might even call it enlightened self-interest, conducted on polished rails.
