| Subject: | Sherman chassis drilling machine |  |

| From: | Paul A. Owen | |
Here's a construction vehicle built on an old Sherman chassis. I think it's a drill. It's being used here in Vancouver (BC, Canada) on the Cambie Street "Canada Line" project (a subway).
Does anyone know what the chassis is exactly? I know it's diesel because once when it was running it was emitting diesel fumes. Although after all this time the engine could have been replaced.
It has those all-steel tracks with the three spuds. The vehicle has been on this site for two months. It's been raining quite a bit too. Note that there is no obvious bright rust on the tracks.
Too bad it is behind the construction zone fence. If it's moved out into the open I'll try and get better photographs.
