Description |
E6967 is an odd ball! This is a 1979 unit that
managed to be used until 2020. Although LRT has some older equipment, this was
pretty remarkable for a pickup truck. The number though doesn't fit into the
late 1970's time frame as the "E"s were used in 1984 and 2003.
I'm not sure of it's initial uses from 1979-2002, but, presumably it was some
sort of jack of all trades hi-rail truck. It was most likely the truck I shot at
the derailment of the tamper 3857 in 2002. By 2003 it had been converted into a
dedicated welding truck and was now in the new ETS service support livery. It
remained as a welding truck until about 2006 when H2340 was added to the fleet.
At that point it was fitted with a flatbed and was used in various capacities
over the 14 years or so. One time in particular, it picked up it's old roll with
a some welding equipment fitted. The truck, amazingly, received it's 3 livery
when it received the current version of the service support livery.
Unfortunately, the end of the line for this truck came in 2020, when in May 2020
it was sent through Michener Allen Auctioneering and sold for $4700, despite
having engine issues. |

I suspect that this is E6967 as seen
below. The truck was attending the derailment of tamper 3857 just South of
Coliseum. While I didn't specifically take a photo of this truck, I was able to
crop an image to capture it. I'm not sure of it's exact use, but, it could have
been set up for incidents like derailments. |
