This week’s video features a blast from the past in Australian trucking, showing off how road trains operated more than 50 years ago.

This Mack was operated by Brambles Manford in Western Australia, running Ammonium Nitrate Nitropril to Mt Tom Price Mine in footage circa 1974.

You even get a good look at the driver in the cab, loading and unloading and more.
