    I know this is a railroad-oriented forum, but I saw this relic of the road sitting by the UP tracks in Muskogee, and I just couldn't resist taking pictures of it:

    IIRC, the tractor was made by White Motor Company, but I'm not sure of the trailer. However, for you modeling types, models of this (albeit in better condition) exist in HO and N scales.

    Looks as though someone has keep it around for a reason.

    What is the brick building? Anything formerly MKT? MP?

    Cab is too heavily weathered. Looks like too much chalk.
    I hope Jimmy Hoffa is not in the trailer.

    Here's another old truck that's not exactly a railroad artifact but I found it along the tracks near Oneonta NY. No details on it but it'd be fun to have in HO scale.:psmile:​

    Bob, that sure could have a railroad history. :tb-biggrin:
    Holiday Express runs in two weeks. Wish you were here, again.

    No, it's a retail business. However, where I was shooting pics of this truck I WAS standing on part of what used to be the lead to the freight house for the Katy.

    And ironically, the building this truck is sitting next to houses a business called Katy Feeds.
