Of Another Era

I have placed the marker BETWEEN the 2 trucks. I passed these for, well, quite some time. And Ive seen the seasons crawl over these. At the point I up this, they are covered in the obscene amount of overgrowth. THIS PROPERTY THESE ARE ON IS ACTIVE, AND HAS CAMERAS (THE SIGNS TELL YOU).

There are some antiquated pieces of farm equipment. The one is a Caterpillar. The other looks to have tore up the ground to loosen it, whilst being horse driven perhaps. Tractors would have been easier tho. For EVERYTHING.

Truck #1. Blue and orange. Tree growing (out of it? thru it?), I cannot say. Apparently it used to be a custom Shunt Truck of some variety to move stuff around inside a yard. It is a truck made by the White Motor Company (defunct 1980). I couldnt find much on what model of truck it was. Its intriguing. I heard the owner of the lot it is on put it here. Locked doors. But the window is down and Plexiglas. Motor appears to be intact, but no idea what it is. 

Another BURIED piece of antiquated farm equipment on the left (If walking twords the former Preston Springs Hotel).

Truck #2. Red,Elongated, narrow Canada flag on the side with the words “REITZEL BROS. SANDBLASTING DIV.” The motor thru the hatch is a Detroit Diesel (87' the plate reads) and the truck itself is a write off but the motor…..A little TLC and it would purr again. The box in the back appears to STILL have sand in it. The box trailer part is folding on to the truck twords the dirt driveway and a few pieces of large, thick wood is holding it all from totally collapsing. The overgrowth looks like it is LEGIT pushing this truck over. As well had Pikaswed420 and I been a month or so earlier, I think this truck would have had red flowers on it. It was placed here by the business now known as “Reitzel Environmental” and I think they do Asbestos Abatement and mold removal and possibly demolition. Im not too sure. More research required. 

These rotted vehicles could be a comfort signalling your just about home, or a landmark beautified by overgrowth to reference for distance or location. Like many places, I really like this one.
