1. Old Dinah Hauling Borax 1904

2. As seen in September 2006, Furnace Creek, CA

3. History.

Sad, isn't it?

It's kinda sad that the parts are gone, but then considering it's performance it is surprising it wasn't completely stripped. I guess they couldn't find other uses for the remaining parts. Apparently it suffered many break downs in the short time it was in use.

Sad, i don't know. I'm glad there is that much left. You didn't expect the drovers to still be hauling Borax did you?

50 ton FCSW Mack tandem chain-drive in 1937 hauling coal. First year after Bulldog.

That Mack was a pretty good sized truck for it's
time.

Bet those old trucks steered hard when loaded.

I drove through Death Valley during the afternoon in late July a few years ago and saw her sitting there in 117 degree heat. The old steamer was impressive to look at but I had never been in such a beautiful yet hot place in my life.
