Qube UD Quon with Rentco Trailer by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Qube are one of the major transport operators operating out of Fremantle Port. What was interesting is that this truck was not pulling the normal container load.

Qube UD Quon [P577] - B-Train Shipping Container Configuration by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Qube are one of the major transport operators operating out of Fremantle Port. I assume P577 had dropped off two containers and was preparing to leave the Port. I am not 100% sure but this looks like a B-Train or B-Double configuration which allows the operator to pull two shipping containers in the metropolitan area.

The reason for the warning signs for randonneurs. A few trucks on the road we had to work. All very courtesy and safe.

This ancient Dodge pickup has a rather cool bovine front ornamentation---

Technically, the Ford Ranchero is or was part truck and part automobile - a car with a smallish pickup bed grafted onto its rear - but it was or became one of the iconic suburban, urban and occasionally rural vehicles on the American vehicle-scape. This particular Ranchero is from the late 1950's - I saw it parked in a suburban driveway in the small Oregon town where I live - and there's something about its lines...that gets to me.

This was taken with my new (to me) Olympus Pen F - using a modified 'color profile' to shoot an in-camera jpeg, something I have almost never done with any other camera, but the Pen F seems to lend itself to a different way of creating images.

My dad had a blue and white one with a 3 speed shift lever on the steering column. It is the vehicle in which I learned to drive!

That goes back a ways! I remember my uncle having a 3 sp on the column, and I thought it was so cool.

...3 speed shift lever on the steering column.

...3 sp on the column...

Known as "three on the tree." Yes, I'm that old.

A rusted GMC Diesel 1930, a long-since abandoned and rusting old workhorse, now living out its mechanical lifetime at the edge of a solitary cow pasture, just outside of a southern Oregon town.

Saw this relatively ancient (by modern standards) Chevy (Chevrolet) flatbed truck, in the semi-abandoned parking lot of a local mall --

Some old trucks don't go to heaven when they 'die' .... they simply spend endless afternoons grazing on the overgrown grass, along with the cows.
