SE Power Co 5 tons pics

[GoldComet6]

Hey guys...

I took these picks the other day in Braselton GA, and just thought I'd post in case anyone might be interested in seeing them. Looks like the 5 tons are still getting used. I took a bunch of pics, so I'll post some more - hopefully there aren't to many duplicates! My camera has a zoom feature, so they turned out pretty good.

Thanks to Clinto for helping me ID them.

Enjoy.

I'd like to know how and what airbrake setup that is. very cool. I would bet lunch money seco built those.

Ah, yes, the "rare and endangered" fivetonincus gigantisaurus. Like the air brakes.

Cool Ranchero daily driver! Is that yours, GoldComet??

Well I see a big no no.... Radial tires mixed with re-cut bias ply tires. Not that those trucks see high way speeds I would think but still not a good idea.

That was the first thing I noticed, the multitude of different type, conditions, and seems like size of the tires.

Drove by yesterday and all of these trucks are all gone. Wonder where they went

I like the bridge truck. I know where there are some here in michigan. Love to own one.

That looked like a construcion crew that puts in new lines and services.....regular power company maint crews usually use civy trucks.

I missed the pics of the bridging trucks. I see 2 M818s, one of which has bridge truck rolling stock. Also see an M51(A1/A2). SE Power is a utility construction company and does work here for FPL. These are off road use only trucks and as such, rarely see blacktop unless crossing it. I doubt that they ever get out of low range. I see them often here in S FL.

Nice trucks

The utility construction companies were snatching up all of the trucks like mine that were 1990 or newer, Mine is a 1989 so I got it
