Excavator out

This posting follows the earlier ones about: Train wreck,  Wreck, stage one √,  Wreck, Sunday, and Drowned excavator.

This morning, a large barge and crane arrived from the Nelson side. By 3:30 pm the excavator was no longer under water, but was sitting on the barge. Below are two shots of it when it was still being supported by the crane, but being lowered onto the barge.

The excavator is upside down, just as it had rested in the water. The flatcar can still be seen resting on the bank.
