A bright red and grey dump truck with its bed fully raised in the air after dropping off its latest load of fill for the parking lot. It is empty and the rear hatch is secured shut.
Black and white photo of one of the Museum's side-dump cars at work c. 1980. The car is tipped to the left, a dark pile of dirt and rocks dumped from it next to the track. Just out of frame on the right, a railway worker is in the process of pulling the car back upright so the chains can be re-secured for movement.
If only we could pose one of the Museum's side-dump cars next to this truck for a visual comparison between historic and modern equipment!
