Sidings by Dayton
Two rail yards a couple of miles from Dayton
Two miles west of Dayton, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a yard listed as SUBARU OF IN, with a second yard, listed as SOUTH, half a mile beyond it at 2.5 miles. Day cabs and yard tractors that shuttle trailers to sidings like these are trucks we buy. Say which yard your tractor served and whether it hooked up to vans, flatbeds or something else.
A tractor that spends its shifts on a rail siding is often left parked inside a fenced lot when it comes off duty. Find out who holds the gate key and whether a visitor needs to sign in, then pass those details to us with the VIN. That lets the collection fit the yard’s routine instead of interrupting it.
Dayton dump work
Pits off Dayton’s west side, Purdy to Swisher
Purdy Materials, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 5.8 miles west of Dayton; the same agency places the US Aggregates-Swisher Plant 9 miles to the north-west. Tri-axle dumps, end dumps and belly dumps that load at pits like these fit what we purchase. Mention the body, the axle count and the tailgate style in your first message.
If the dump truck is still standing at the pit, ask the scale house how outside vehicles get on and off the property. Send us those instructions, a photo of the VIN plate and the registration card, and the pickup can follow the site’s own rules.
Quarry haul north of town
The Delphi Plant quarry up the road
The Delphi Plant, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry, sits 15.5 miles north of Dayton. Stone haulers that run between that quarry and job sites in the county are welcome here as well, whether they are owner-operated or part of a small outfit.
A quarry truck usually comes with a folder of service invoices from one shop. Put those beside the title and a set of photos showing the cab, the bed and the frame, so the truck’s working history arrives in one bundle when you reach us.
Corn, beans, hogs and building crews around Dayton
Around Dayton, farm ground fills the map: the county held 712 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and hogs leading its list. Grain trucks, hopper tractors and livestock haulers that sit in a machine shed between seasons can be collected right there. Give us the farm lane and a phone number for whoever can open the shed.
For building work, five construction establishments appear in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns for the area. If a contractor is retiring a dump truck or a flatbed, keep the title in the business’s name and the registration together, and tell us where the truck is parked.
When the title has gone astray in Dayton
Duplicate titles in this state come from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, through its BMV branches. The nearest one to Dayton, according to the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, is the Lafayette branch at 2200 Elmwood Ave Ste A6, Lafayette, 47904, about 6.4 miles from town.
The owner named on the old certificate is the one who applies for the replacement. Start that request at the Lafayette branch before you contact us, and keep any lien release in the same envelope, so the paperwork is settled when the truck leaves Dayton.
