> Did the railroads "back then" have cranes that had the capability of picking up a locomotive that landed well beyond the right-of-way, 20 feet lower than the railroad and 200-300 feet away?

Yes, they're in the OP's pic. Whenever one landed a distance from the train, retrieving it was a time consuming process which required many lifts and tedious repositioning of the big hook(s) in between.
