ANOTHER DAY #2

A UPS van sits on Main St. while the driver makes her pick-ups and deliveries to the local businesses.

A dump truck waits at the busy intersection of Market and Main streets. Meanwhile, Mr Phillips is taking his usual daily jog. Looks like that old Toyota J4 has seen a few dirt (mud?) trails!

Behind the R&O Packing truck is a City of Hillsdale tractor. Normally used for mowing the grass in the park and on school grounds, today it seems to be headed for other uses as the mowing unit is not attached.

Sam and Bill give directions to a lost motorist. Wrong turn off the Interstate?

A rare glimpse of the Trackmobile owned by the new bottling plant and used to spot cars around the facility. Normally, the Hillsdale local simply drops off loads and picks up empties on the two outside receiving tracks and this little guy does the rest. Today, it seems a car was slow to get unloaded and missed the local, so the Trackmobile brought it over to the yard and dropped it off. While it was only one car and a short trip down the line (12 miles), given the short range -and slow speed- of the Trackmobile, it had better not become a habit!
