Cool 8) I wonder where they are taking them? I would have thought that any that left the factory would have gone by rail or crate, but perhaps they were going to a close by depot. That whole setup would be cool to have now....

Love that driver uniform with the Jodhpur pants and jack boots. Looks like the Massachusetts State police uniform of today!

BTW, how did they load the lower level? Rear end opening looks small and I don't see any way that rear upper ramp swings up. There is a vertical seem running top to bottom just ahead of the rear tandem axle? Does something swing or slide open there.

Maybe the sides in that rear sections "clammed" open? Either way, I would love that truck in the background! :)

I think they loaded / unloaded them with those 2 ramps that are still on the ground which then slid in on either side of the vehicles on the lower level.

Great photo.
