House & Building Moving

Brunswick, MD / April 2022

The Brunswick, Maryland rail tower was the last historic structure in the CSX rail yard, and local officials worked for over 10 years to raise the funds and awareness necessary to save it through relocating it to a nearby piece of land. Wolfe lifted the 2-story frame tower and used four Buckingham dollies to drive it across the train tracks and up a slight grade to its new location.
