Thanks Reg, I sure enjoy seeing the pictures thou it sure does create a lump in my throat, and dampens my eyes. I know a couple years ago that they were pushing for on highway trucks when I was there Steve had shared. They sure do look good to me, thou would only look better with a load of logs loaded and coming down the road,to the DLS.
While I am new to this and sure an outsider can see no way that this will achieve the goal that they hope it will. Yes the old girls are slow, and getting old, but still can haul so much more than a highway truck. They do it much safer coming down the down the switch backed mountain roads. I guess time will tell and it would be costly to park them but would seem much safer. park them work on them, get them back into better condition as fill in work for the mechanics. While trying some highway trucks, if the highway trucks work out then sell them. Should be worth a lot more in better condition, and you have a back up plan if the highway trucks don't work out. Something like this would make a bean counter goes crazy but most bean counters are pretty close to there already!
