The Q did indeed have "Combination Machines", however 204614 was not one of 
them. The derrick in the photo had a wrecking derrick boom not a locomotive 
crane boom. The M&StL official simply misstated the machine in his letter.

In the next Zephyr, (which is very close to being finished) we will be covering 
Bill’ Glick’s model of the CB&Q’s Industrial Works Pile Driver No. 204613 from 
Tichy’s No. 4010 Steam Wrecking Crane kit.  

In doing some research on the Industrial Works, I discovered an advertisement 
that touts “An Industrial Works Convertible Crane Pile Driver combines the 
functions, the safety and the labor saving abilities of a locomotive crane and 
a pile driver.”  “The leader truss is easily removed and regular boom 
substituted for locomotive crane service.” 

So, it is highly probable, that the same unit performed both functions.

Yes, that is very possible but 204614 still was not a "derrick" it was a pile 
driver.

Then why does the letter from the superintendent of the M.&S.L. state,
"You were in charge of the CB&Q derrick 204614 and assisted in
reconstruction of the bridge between Abingdon and Berwick?" Are you
suggesting that Grandpa's No. 204614 may have been there but it's a
different derrick in the photos? I had never considered that.

Bob
