As promised, here's the shot of both of Young's coal trucks at their
Denville facility. This shot was taken in May of 1955 by Bill Young,
collection of Steve Hepler. The truck at the left is a 1940 International,
and I'm not sure where this truck is today. At the right is a 1948
International "high-lift" truck, and it is at the Whippany Railway Museum
today in Whippany, NJ. If you look carefully, you can see the Denville wye
tail track/Rockaway Loop track of the DL&W behind the truck at the left.
