BC logging equipment left to rust

[Caterpillar941b]

Took this pic in 1992,it disappeared a couple years later.It was last used in 1973 according to the date on the licence plate.I used to see a fair bit of this stuff even back then,but film was expensive,and this stuff wasn't so hard to come by then,It was a shame not to have caught more on camera.But until recently in the computer age here,there was no outlet to share these photos back then or realize anyone else liked this stuff as well.

looks like a early 50s late 40s model

Shhhhhh. Dont mention the S words on this thread. These are treasured relics (apparently). Even the locations must remain top secret!!

Please understand, some folks here are a little touchy about this stuff being scrapped. If the legitimate owner chooses to do so, that's fine. The pirates are what we have a beef with.
