Description

Volume 2. When one thinks of Northwest, immediately the image of a distinctive orange and black machine with a recognizable design of its machinery house comes to mind. These particular machines stood out on a job site, whether they were shovels digging out a rocky hillside on a road cut, pullshovels trenching on a pipeline, working as a dragline in a sand and gravel pit, or being used as a crane in lifting assignments. The "classic years" of Northwest Engineering Company brought forth these memorable machines during an impressive period of heavy construction in the USA as highways, housing developments, sewers, and a plethora of other infrastructure projects were underway. This volume is a photographic archive of these years.
