This & That from Here & There
#1
Yeah, I know, it's been forever since I've posted anything new. I've taken several trips, but most were with other 'pixers who have already posted their shots. In between, I've shot a bit of stuff myself, so I'll be posting those here over the next week or so. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did shooting them.



Going back to July, I posted some rigs from Leoma, TN. This shot of their tanker was still in the camera and I didn't get it developed until recently. Tanker 20 is a 1992 IH 4900/E-One 1000/2000, #9752.



On a sentimental note, that piece of blue car visible in the background is my 1992 Dodge Spirit. That was the last road trip with that car, it was retired with 280,000+ miles on it. It had been my "ride" for over 5 years.

Question for anyone who's company runs these style cabs or has seen the inside of one. How big are they inside? They look like they provide a substantial amount of room.



Also, that IS a unique looking Sutphen CU
