The first cranes mounted on railway wheels were hand operated, but by the mid-nineteenth century, several builders had fitted steam engines and boilers to enhance lifting capabilities, though initially these machines were not self-propelled, but merely portable. The first example was a locomotive converted by the London & North Western Railway in 1866. By the 1860s self-propelled cranes were offered and gradually designs were developed for more specialised uses, such as dealing with accidents or for quarrying.A crane locomotive is a conventional steam locomotive, built or subsequently fitted with a crane jib.
These were all mainly employed for shunting and loading in workshop areas. Other railways followed with their own conversions, and three main line companies even built a small number new. Private firms also designed and built specialist crane locomotives for use in heavy industry,
