This clip was actually shot before parts 1 and 2 with a Kodak EasyShare digital camera, not the JVC Everio that I used for the other two, so the quality is a little different. While sitting in a line of traffic stopped for road maintenance about 6 or 8 miles southeast of Superior, AZ., I saw this beautiful sight moving towards me. It shows a Kenworth T-800 employed by Empire Transport hauling the big Cat up the 6 or 7 percent grade headed towards the Ray Copper Mine. After the traffic cleared I turned around and got ahead of the dozer and set up on the steepest part of the road and was able to shoot parts 1 and 2. For any Dodge diesel fans, you'll notice the 3rd gen. chase truck and I let it run long enough to get in a little 2nd gen. action too! My rig is an '05 Cummins powered Ram.
