Both the tractor and semi-trailers are French, together with the railway waggon marked SNCF. In the far background last picture is a DAF truck. I have no idea about the make of this road-rail tractor, but will try to get some information.

It looks very posh, but it’s not a sleeper cab is it?
That’s dodgy, that last picture of the Mack in the flood, even taken slowly you have no idea what debris lies hidden beneath the surface, as I found out to my cost in Matlock one day. I was doing fine in similar depth water when I came up against a large chunk of someone’s wall, and got no further.
Thanks for posting this one Buzzer, it certainly took me back a bit.
I recognised the old I.C.I. Blackley site, which is now long gone, along with The Crumpsall Hotel, mind you the place has changed a bit over the last sixty years.

Or not lurking under the water… When I worked in Nigeria the wet season had daily floods in many regions. In towns the flooded roads held the danger of missing manhole covers-they had all been nicked for scrap! So you could suddenly come to an abrupt stop when a wheel fell into the abyss.
