Cat and Komatsu dumptruck graveyard

Mike Bullock sent in this amazing series of photos from Russia where hundreds of heavy dumptrucks from top manufacturers Caterpillar and Komatsu just seem to have been abandoned and left to the ravages of the wind,rain and snow.

So who can afford to just let these earthmoving monsters rot away like this? Well apparently these old trucks are owned by a massive diamond mining company for whom money appears to be no object. When these trucks have reached a certain age they simply park them up and buy a whole new fleet!

And if any would be dumptruck thieves pass by thinking they are going to get themselves a cheap truck think again as this fine looking guard dog will be only to happy to stop them!
