Great picture,

Do you think there is anything left there or did it all pretty much go when they got out of the buisness.

Gary,

Unfortunately it is all gone now. A good bit of it was scrapped in the late 70's or early 80's. I believe they sold their last halftrack about 1984 or so but I'm not positive. Maybe someone else can add more.
