Railway crane type EKD 80 in Sfintu Gheorghe freight station. 

The EDK 80 railway crane is capable of lifting load of up to 20 tons at a maximum radius of 12 meters. The crane weights 58 tons and is able to travel at speeds reaching up to 100 km/h. This crane type is used to lift various loads that don't require a high lifting force or a big working radius. The crane is also used in the various electrification works, where it's  considered as the main part from a full intervention train. The picture shows a strange use for this crane. It was actually photographed in working position while loading some freight containers on standard railway platforms.
