james j neiweem Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 McClure RD # 95 is also ex Rawson. Rawson used to have a bunch of CL's and a couple of vision tractors Red and black. Before that they had some R dumps pulling pup dump trailers(odd for CT). Towards the end of the Mack era they had a few red and black Granites and one light blue Granite.

Back a few days (25 years ago), they had some nice R models. It made an interesting picture to have the rail yard right next to a fairway at the country club!

fxfymn Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Probably going to use different boxes for the type of response they are making. We used a system like this with one box dedicated to carrying cribbing/shoring, another for communications, logistics, etc. It saves on the truck cost, but can really slow you down when you need more than one box right now.

acprimus631C Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Saw one of H.I. Stone's R-models cleaned up and running trailerless through Hartford yesterday. Tilcon had one of their CHs delivering barriers to the staging yard on Rt. 2 in Glastonbury today. Also saw one of the RD triaxles getting a ride on a lowboy...hope they aren't dumping them yet.

james j neiweem Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Saw a sharp red CL dump on 95 yesterday. The funny thing about it was that it said Dattco on the door with Dattco mud flaps.Is this the same as Dattco as the bus company. The logo looked the same. Also saw a new axle back Granite dump for Hanes.Good to see they are buying Macks again. They used to have CL's and RD's before buying T800's.
