While driving to work this morning (Thu 13.8.98) I noticed that a
large CONMOR mobile crane, being used to position beams for one of the
City Link offramps at Footscray Road near the Moonee Ponds Creek has
toppled over while fully extended and is lying on its side in the mud
with its jib(the long thing!) draped over the railway bridge leading
to NR's steel terminal in Melbourne.

I'd guess with all the rain, the area around the creek would have been
water logged. I doubt there'll be any trains running in/out of the
Steel Terminal for the better part of the day.
