That locomotive hauler looks like a centipede's roller skate...
Back in the later 1960s, while walking home from school, I once saw
an Euclid construction dump truck - looking similar but about a half
to a third the size of this mining dump truck - that was being driven
on the road for some unknown reason, run up the back of a late 1960s
Olds 88. The older lady driving the Olds was stopped at a red light.
I was walking on the sidewalk, behind the Olds' position, on the drivers
side of the car. All of a sudden the driver's door flew open and the
blue-haired lady jumped out and started RUNNING in the direction
forward of the car. After she was a car length or so away, the Euclid,
which was trying to stop, ran up the rear of the Olds 88 and the front
of the Olds shot up into the air. I don't remember it breaking the Olds'
rear window though, just squashing the trunk area of the car. I guess
a full-sized car makes a good Euclid wheel chock...
