As a teenager in the 70's, I was fascinated by big trucks. And, since I lived close to the Pacific Truck & Trailer plant in North Vancouver BC. I found myself hanging around there checking out the new behemoths coming out of the factory. When these giant "Road Locomotives" were produced I was completely blown away! So I went into the office and asked lots of questions. I was rewarded by being given a personal guided tour of the plant by the CEO! It's a memory of a lifetime! After the tour, he invited me into his office and gave me some hats, brochures and a picture of the ROTRAN units in action. The best part was the caption under the picture... It read, "They're so big that the Earth simply revolves under them!" And I believed it!
