Newburg has always had a unique fleet for WM. Several years ago WM bought this yard from a local hauler, Newburg Disposal. Even after several years, they still have a number of the older trucks running here. However his Ford was only recently reconditioned and put back on the road. So on my way back from Portland, Alex and I decided to stop and peek through town to see if we could get lucky, and we sure did. A fantastic looking truck being run by an exceptionally nice guy made for an awesome afternoon.
If I understood correctly, he said they made these cabs for one more year before discontinuing them, which would suggest that this truck is a 1989. 1990 was the last year of the Ford C Series.
Thanks to the driver, and Jared for telling me this truck exists.
And for those wondering, it looks like the (other) WM Lodal ASL is now gone as well. WM is also tying to switch away from split body ASLs in this yard and as a result, several Amreps are being brought in from other locations and it would seem as though all of the Cool Hands/Automizers will all be gone soon, if they're not already gone now.
