Teamsters

Stopover .. the old Queensport Tavern from 1864 . Interesting the terminology Teamsters as a reference to trucks and trucking companies , one that goes back to the horse and bullock wagon days of the past . Then theres the word Horse Power , a terminology still is use today to describe the power output of the internal combustion engine . HP is being phased out in favour of KW , which I still find confusing and now with the introduction of electrical powered vehicles , horse power seems an obsolete terminology , but almost all people interested in cars , trucks or whatever understand Horse Power and don't we all owe so much to the horse .

Long live Horse Power .
