It would be a shame to see them all replaced with Paccars. Nice to see Macks in the Tilcon fleet again. I think the last ones were RD's and a couple of CL's. I see they have the new 300 numbering units. I wonder if the original 200 numbering units were in the sale. It didn't take long for Tilcon to give them Tilcon numbers. For those who don't know Tilcon is owned by Irelands New Castle. More buying up of America! How true. Wish I understood the economics that makes this work for the Europeans????

I remember being at my grandparents house on Rt 5 sitting on steps "truck watching"- a good sighting was a chain drive Roger Sherman go by. Another one was a "straddle carrier" going by with a full load of lumber. Talk about chain drive noise. In my memory the driver and engine/drive train was about 8 feet or more in the air so the chains to the driving axle must have been 6 ft or more- 12ft+ total. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/105/#findComment-584216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
