Moving forward
Description:
Barely noticeable at first, the crane is slowly lifting up its runner rail before moving the rail farther to the right, thus able to move farther down the gondola.

Title:
Runner rail imoved
Description:
The runner rail beneath the crane has now moved totally onto the 2nd gondola and will eventually sit on top while the crane legs lift up to allow it to move down the rail toward the ties farther in the gondola. This movement will be repeated many times as the crane slowly works its way down all of the gondola tops.
