Popular Post 57 bcr Posted February 18, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 Here's a picture that should never have been taken.......I mean, we couldn't find a to do this job,that day? Blasphemy !! Anyway it is a Hendrickson hauling a so I felt it should be posted. Interesting haul, if anything I guess! I didn't find any switchers this size in my Montville book. Anybody know which model it is? Or was it simply something used by Mack at a plant (hence the Mack lettering). Somebody here will know the answer.

Popular Post PeterMack Posted February 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2014 At Christmas I was at my uncle's house and I borrowed a couple pics of his first trucks. The dark blue/white Hendrickson washis first truck as an o/o and was Cummins powered and the light blue/white was his second truck that had a 318 Detroit. He stillhad the book for the service manual for the first truck but all the literature was gone and it is now used as a photo album. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 In the March/April 2014 issue of "Wheels of Time" the book review is on one celebrating 100 years of HENDRICKSON. Looks like a good read. I'll have to get one for my library as they were a common sight around here, up until a few years ago.

Anybody know which model it is? Or was it simply something used by Mack at a plant (hence the Mack lettering). Somebody here will know the answer. AlIt's a 1924 G.E. Trolly Motor Car Box Cab Eight of these were built by General Electric in February 1924 in Joplin Missouri . Two of the locomotives are shown with the S.M.R.C. employees who built #5 at the lines Webb City shops. The 600-volt electricity required to power each units's four traction motors was supplied by overhead wire; colletced by the poles on top of the units.The Mack Truck Company of Allentown, Pennsylvania, purchased #4 in 1939 and loaded IT onto railroad flat cars in Joplin, Missouri, for delivery to Mack's Allentown, Pennsylvania, plant. The two locomotives were rebuilt into experimental gas electric locomotives with Mack EP gasoline engines, and two 300-volt GE 1503 generators that were wired in series, “in theory” to provide 600 volts to the traction motors. However, the result was that this design proved to be a not-very-efficient electrical system and tended to be problematic. The two locomotives were used as plant switchers at the Mack truck factory until 1960:Jimmy McHugh, Sr owner of McHugh Railroad Maintenance Company has been involved with it since about 1968., for use at the now bankrupt New Hope & Ivyland short line railroad in eastern Pennsylvania. McHugh had a fondness for the Mack rail units. It was unsuitable for road service at the NH&I, it was moved, (in 1971) to the McHugh Company facility in Penndel, Pennsylvania. #4 has now had some very necessary repairs made to it, as well as being cosmetically restored. It is currently placed on a short section of track at the McHugh Company plant in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, for display.S Berlineer II photoJimmy Mchugh photo 3 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Superdog Posted June 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2014 This '66 belongs to Mark McCullough from MO.It was built with a 1674 Cat,but the buyers weren't happy with the power so sent it back and had a 1693 Cat put in. It's a real low mile original,always kept inside . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Did Hendrickson ever use the 48 to 53 Chevy cabs on the trucks? Found this in my "box o photos" taken around 1940. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Paul I do not think so. Every Henry I ever saw used the International Cabs. I think from the 1940's anyway they used the KB cab,then the comfo vision fleetstar2070 and finallythe S-Series until out of production. Joe D.

41chevy Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I thought so. I have a photo some where of what must be a re cabbed Hendrickson with a 49 to 52 Chevy / GMC cab and a Hendrickson style nose with GMC over the grill. I'll dig it out and post it. Odd looking unit.

Joe Ditchkus Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Paul I remember seeing a few years back a picture of a big tandem dump out West I think that had the GMC-Chevy cab. I hope you find picture to see if it is same one I remember. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
