so, i was watching the news this morning, contemplating the day's high of - 18 when i saw a train derailment. interesting. the helicopter view showed a familiar scene. my buddies crushing yard. not so familiar, the piles of railcars. i took some pics, then the bulls ran me off. it was freakin' cold. - 23 and falling. those brother 150 operators running the four sidebooms, two 977's, and other equipment really earned their keep.

    Was headed down to see my buddy in McPherson and saw 3 Hulchers sidebooms and 4 trucks carrying the assorted bits and pieces. The lead truck was hauling a sideboom on 0 drop trailer. Anyway, i thought it was kinda that i read this thread and not 4 hrs latter i see 7 of their trucks. Hadn't every heard of the company before that, wonders of the interwebs.
