Aggregate past the lake
Two crushed-stone sites on the road toward Brownwood
Brownwood Quarry lies 10 miles south-east of the lake, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, which lists it as a crushed-stone quarry. A tandem dump or end-dump that hauls aggregate out of that pit can be sold from the quarry lot, a lakeside driveway or a shop yard. Tell us which of those it is when you first get in touch.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also records West Texas Portable Crusher #3, another crushed-stone operation, at 10.3 miles out in the same south-easterly direction. Portable crushing plants move between jobs, so a truck tied to one may be sitting at a different site from week to week. Give us the current gate location and a phone number for whoever holds the keys there.
For a stone hauler, have the VIN, the registration and any service records ready, and take photos of the bed, the hoist, the cab and the tires in daylight. That set lets us ask fewer questions before we arrange the pickup.
Brownwood’s rail yards, about ten miles from the shore
Two yards both named BROWNWOOD appear in the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: one 9.9 miles and the other 11.1 miles south-east of Lake Brownwood. Flatbeds and day cabs that shuttle loads to and from a rail siding often end up parked near the yard rather than at home.
If your tractor or flatbed is sitting by either Brownwood yard, it can stay there. Send us the street address or a pin, mention whether the lot is fenced, and name a person who can let the driver in on the day we come for it.
Cattle, horses and sheep across the lake’s home county
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,680 farms in Brown County, with cattle, equine and sheep as its top three listings. Around the lake that means stock trailers, gooseneck rigs and the pickups and tractors that pull them out to pastures and sale barns.
A tractor or straight truck used for hauling cattle, horses or sheep is one we buy. Photograph the cab, the frame and the hitch or fifth wheel, and keep the title and current registration together with the truck so the paperwork is in one place on collection day.
If the truck is parked out on a ranch rather than near a road, describe the gate and the track to it. A driver who knows the way in before arriving keeps the visit short for whoever is running the place.
The Guard installation south-east of the lake
Some 15.8 miles south-east of Lake Brownwood, NG Camp Bowie (State) is recorded as a military installation by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
If your truck is stored somewhere with controlled access, tell us at the start. We will need the name of a contact who can arrange entry for our driver, and the truck’s title should be ready to hand over when it is released.
Lake Brownwood owners and the Broadway Street tax office
In Texas the Department of Motor Vehicles hands title work to county tax assessor-collector offices, and Brown County has one close to the lake. For Lake Brownwood owners that is the Brown County Tax Office, Suite 105 at 200 South Broadway Street in Brownwood, which the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists 9.8 miles from the lake.
If the title cannot be found, start the replacement at that Broadway Street office before we schedule collection. Bring identification and the truck’s VIN, and let us know once the request is in so we can plan the pickup around it.
