Lubek? Rairoad (Great Northern) related. NW Montana, possibly a RR siding or double boomed crane 1930's-40's

Question

Railroad derailment location. Lubek

Answer 1

"Location" being the key word in your question, I'm guessing Lubek is a siding.  

There have been many references to cranes over the years, usually containing the builders name, or common slang terms, such as "the hook", refief outfit, Burro, "el gancho", etc., which leads me away from Lubek as a piece of equipment.

I'll see if I can dig up more info.....................

Answer 2
