This was an attempt to shoot some color infrared film at night. One of the main lessons of this roll of film was that infrared wavelengths are different than visible light. I think they’re longer. That means you have to change your focus slightly. Many professional cameras have focus markings for infrared. When you are focused properly, the image in the viewfinder will be out of focus but the film plane will be sharply focused. Crimony.
To the best of my knowledge, all of these Kenworths had Caterpillar 3406 engines. Flickr user Stu-Bo reports they had Eaton Fuller Road Ranger five-and-two (ten speed) transmissions.
The streaked lights across the sky were caused by the anti-collision lighting of airliners on approach to LAX. The length of the lines might give you a rough idea of this exposure's length.
Russia’s economy is still only slightly larger than that of Los Angeles County.

NS 4543 was recently rebuilt is seen here flying by the Cresson Railroad Park on a windy Sunday afternoon.
From the archives: described as "tractor-trailer rigs," these tractors were generally used on linehaul applications inside this company. For example, a driver would pick up a set of trailers in the San Francisco Bay Area and drive half way to Los Angeles. They would meet with a northbound driver. They would un-hitch the southbound trailers, hitch up the northbound trailers, and return home. In California, they pulled two, 27-foot trailers between cities. In Nevada, where different regulations applied, the tractors would pull a set of three trailers. These were called "doubles" and "triples" respectively.
This is a Viking Freight System Kenworth cabover tractor at door 51 of the West Bay loading dock in Santa Clara, California circa 1982.
The fleet appeared to be very well maintained. A few hundred feet out of frame to the left, there was always someone at the Santa Clara shop with a set of rolling stairs. They changed broken lenses and fixed burned-out trailer clearance lights. There was a tire shop and a shop that rebuilt Allison automatic transmissions for the entire system.
Viking was a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier operating in seven western states. They had agreements with Old Dominion, Preston, Conway Express, and other companies to deliver freight beyond their seven-state area. They were eventually purchased by FedEx during the late 1980s.
I think these tractors had Spicer 9-speeds. Does anyone know? The standard engine for these Kenworth tractors was a 225 horsepower Caterpillar 3406. The only other detail that looks familiar is a pair of 25-inch Grover air horns. The Viking shop did experiments with a few tractors. They were modified to 425 horsepower in order to pull exceptionally heavy loads.
As always, your corrections and comments are welcomed.
