RVSC McAllen Hauler
Title:  RVSC McAllen Hauler
Description:  About to pass one of the last oil-fuel dealer still located along the tracks in the Rio Grande Valley. Nearly every town had at least one, but over time they shut down and all traces have been removed. Most towns now have empty lots and open fields where these small oil distributors were once located. This one still was last carrying Exxon signs.
