Classics in view

My road trip turned up a few classics - most still operating -

The R.H.Frenette Group of Petit-Rocher, NB displays this 1959 Mack B-61 but likely fires it up for special events.

Jos. LeFrançois 2008 Inc runs this unit out of Amqui, QC, a Mack R series, but with the steel fenders and hood and centre cab (some units had an offset cab). Mounted front and centre on the hood is a golden bulldog.

Big old Binder from 1997, was parked at Remorquage Provinciale, Jacques d'Anjou Inc in Mont Joli, QC. With three newer units on the lot, it may only see occasional duty.

Big red wrecker at Rivière-du-Loup, QC, is probably newer than the year 2000, but it represents the early integral sleepers introduced by Volvo.

I look out for this truck every year south of Edmunston - maybe the only Scania operating in eastern Canada, it is a favourite sighting.

Maritime Road Recyclers from Grand Falls uses this unit to spread primer before the application of asphalt recoating.

I have seen this long wheelbase Freightliner in Halifax, but in my 2016 photo, it was painted red! It operates out of Centreville, NB area for D.Forsyth. Judging by the splatters on the front, New Brunswick continues to live up to its rep as the bug capital of the Maritimes.

2016 appearance - paint colour and stacks have changed - otherwise the same truck.

I don't recall seeing an All Wheel Drive Freighliner before- a rare truck indeed. Joseph McDonald Jr. House Moving + Construction Ltd, based in Moncton, NB, operates around the southern part of the province. I spotted this one in Elgin, NB.
