Remarks & Notes

Photo by unknown. From my collection. Relco Leasing was the grandaddy of leasing with over 50 years in business. In general they specialized in small second-hand units. Most were painted in a very austere yellow scheme and they seemed to be placed everywhere in industry. This unit appears to have been recently acquired from Luria Steel. Perhaps RE took over their switching. I assume that iron ore in the background. Wabco acquired Relco in 2020.
