For about a month, in Grand Junction CO I’ve been noticing a huge collection of big equipment connected together as if readying for something. I’ve never seen equipment like this and it is so varied, my curiosity got the best of me. I noticed the name HARSCO on the side of one and looked them up.
These are amazing machines. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@draconite420]

Loose fastenings everywhere, so tamping it is a waste of time
