The Museum has a small collection of locomotives, including the Pioneer, Olomana, and Jupiter. Even objects as large as locomotives are moved occassionally for special exhibitions at the Smithsonian and for loan to other museums. This site chronicles the specialized rigging techniques used when moving heavy objects.
