Big temperature difference during the last trip. Pictures from the desert of New Mexico to the snowy plains of Alberta.
543210That is quite a difference Chris. How many kilometres are between the two locations?

Highest temperature was +28C in Laredo and lowest was -16C in Lloydminster. They are about 3000km apart.

One for Dig ! Hope you are ok mate havent seen you on here lately !!
Thanks Deano been a little bit crook but recovered now and I have just got home from a short trip around the goldfields with an old mate from this site who is here in Perth visiting family so we took the opportunity to scratch his itch to see a bit of our transport industry.
We started with a trip around an old mates yard and PDB was introduced to Kimberly Cool a triple rated 625hp ■■■■■■■ powered KW which pulls multiple triple combinations to Kimberly areas of West Auss on a weekly basis around 6000kms per trip 2 up or as you say double manned.
I.m sure he will be putting a few pictures on here upon his return to the UK.
Cheers Dig

I really don’t know if there is bigger elsewhere Patrick but that’s the 2nd time I have been to the big pit the last time in the mid 90s and the original viewing area is now part of the hole,if it gets any bigger it will swallow Kalgoorlie,18million ounces of gold since 1989.40 Cat Haulpaks and 4 Kamatsu face shovels loading them,they drill and blast 3 times a week.
A small history about Econofreight I came across.
The firm of Econofreight was a specialist in the Heavy Haulage sector in the UK in the 1980s, and 90s before being sold off to ALE by the then owner, Brambles group of Australia.
Econofreight absorbed several well known names in the Heavy Haulage field over the years and a lot of well know trucks passed through there hands. Several are in preservation in the colours of either Econofreight or one of the other famous owners.
The firm of Wynns merged with Sunters in about 1986 to form United Heavy Transport, who then merged with Econofreight which then rebranded as Econofreight Heavy Transport Ltd. This was then brought by Brambles Group of Australia to add to there engineering divisons (which include some of GKN operations). Later they sold Econofreight off to ALE after splitting some operations off. Brambles sold a lot of the STGO cat2 Trucks and trailers to SARENS of Belgium UK subsidary, who had also acquired the well known heavy haulage firm of GE Curtis.
An interesting fact is that ALE’s boss Roger Harris started his life working for Wynns.
