Popular Post other dog Posted April 7 Popular Post Share Posted April 7 Since it was cold and rainy all day today I couldn't do anything outside for fear of melting. I saw a pretty interesting video on YouTube though. I can't post the link because I watched it on the TV machine, but this was the name of it- This is some town in Missouri, pretty much abandoned, but not completely. The best thing about the video was all the old trucks sitting around, like these- And last but not least- 9 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Mark T Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 That Hartlage and the Mack for that matter look almost photoshopped in the pictures. No way either one sat outside for years. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75384-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-573156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 The guy didn't have any story or history of anything, he pretty much just walked around videoing houses and trucks. There was a lot of old firetrucks there too. He did say the locals that were still there were not very friendly, and he was warned about trespassing. He never showed a good look at the R Model, I found the better picture on Google Maps Street View. The town was called Moselle, Missouri. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post GA_Dave Posted April 8 Popular Post Share Posted April 8 (edited) I took a trip there on Google Maps as soon as you said firetrucks! I found five. On the other side of that Campbell Express trailer sits an open cab American LaFrance 700 Series. It saddens me to see this Seagrave just sitting in that town, in the condition it is in now, with junk piled all over it. It was a beautiful rig when I shot it in Masontown, PA.

I noticed that about the Apache, especially the rear wheels and tires. They’re not even dirty. Thought that was really weird. I had not thought of that … bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75384-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-573198 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Oh yeah, I see lots of stuff. There's still Christmas lights on that balcony...there's a Cargostar International back there at the edge of the woods, behind that lift and the orange and black car, along with a couple more fire trucks. Definitely one of the weirdest places i've ever seen, like something you'd see in a horror movie. Wonder why there's so many old trucks and van trailers parked all around? And only one or two houses in the whole town that looks like the grass has been cut in the last 3 years, but there's some fairly new looking vehicles and boats parked in some of the driveways. Several broke down lawn mowers parked in the weeds though. Strange. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post 67RModel Posted Wednesday at 06:57 PM Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 06:57 PM This thread made me think of a B model that has been siting outside in the same sport on the outskirts of Pittsburgh for literal decades. I honestly remember seeing this truck sit in the exact same spot back when I was a toddler riding in a car seat in the late 1980s. It hasn't moved since and actually doesn't look bad at all. Right on PA51 in McKees Rocks, PA. I was through there about a month ago and its still there.... 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75384-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-573310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA_Dave Posted Wednesday at 07:27 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:27 PM Not all of that video was shot at the same time. In some shots, that orange Chevy tractor is under the Campbell Express trailer and in others, it is sitting between the two buildings on the other side of the tracks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75384-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-573314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
