The yellow digger is being hoisted down by the crane. It weighs 120,000 lbs and the crane's top load capacity at this boom angle is 125,000 lbs.
The yellow digger is carefully swung around over the CTA tracks. (A southbound train was held up over 5 minutes).
The yellow digger is carefully swung even further around with men pulling ropes. There are only a couple of inches clearance at each end of the lowered horizontal digging guide and each side of the concrete canyon between the retaining walls for both railway bridges.
The yellow digger is safely on the road. A brief hole of sunlight shows many of the yellow late fall colors over Evanston.
