Story Contracting

Several of the ex-Caledonian fleet have started to gain Story fleet numbers, generally in the format of 11##-##, where the final two digits are the previous Caledonian identities. If you see any numbers in the new format, please let us know so we can update our lists. Thanks!

Also joining the fleet is a Liebherr A900 with fleet number 1100. Further details are not yet known, but it is thought to be an ex-Murphy machine.
