trucks

[NW Mailing List]

Abe and Jimmy,
Thanks for the responses.and I agree with your reasoning, but still, one
thing niggles at me.  If it's dust, why doesn't it coat the faces of the
wheels as well?  Seems like they would have been as greasy/oily as the
trucks and just as apt to attract the light gray dust.  Would there have
been some part of their operation that might have kept them "cleaner"?
Thanks again,
Jim
