Old Manitoulin B-7000

I thought you'd find this photo of a B-7000  run by Manitoulin interesting. What surprises me is the triaxle trailer. I thought they were more recent than this.

As far as i recall tri-axles have been around since at least the late 60's (probably before that but i'm getting forgetful). What surprises me is the tridem set up with the 3 axles with no spread. The old tri axles i pulled had about a 10' spread between the lead axle and the tandems at the back. Also the lead axle was a lift axle. The tridem grouping was a more recent style . It is easier on the roads.
