Yeah, I know, it's been forever since I've posted anything new. I've taken several trips, but most were with other 'pixers who have already posted their shots. In between, I've shot a bit of stuff myself, so I'll be posting those here over the next week or so. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did shooting them.



Going back to July, I posted some rigs from Leoma, TN. This shot of their tanker was still in the camera and I didn't get it developed until recently. Tanker 20 is a 1992 IH 4900/E-One 1000/2000, #9752.



On a sentimental note, that piece of blue car visible in the background is my 1992 Dodge Spirit. That was the last road trip with that car, it was retired with 280,000+ miles on it. It had been my "ride" for over 5 years.

I know these photos are not the greatest, but when I am there I try to take a station photo, and many times the sun isn't working with me, so I get what I get.

This 1960 Maxim 85ft "service" Aerial Ladder is owned by my family. Purchased in 1960 by the America Hose Hook and Ladder Company No. 2 in Bristol Pa, this truck served until 1986 when it was replaced by a 106ft Hahn Firespear. Powered by a Waulkesha Gasoline Engine, coupled to a 5 speed overdrive tranny. It orginally had a 250gpm pump, but driver error at a fire blew the pump and dropped the rear. My grandfather purchased it in 1987 from the Fire Company and it has been with us ever since. All the original equiptment is still on the truck, from the wooden ground ladders, to the orignal life belts, to all the turnout gear and helmets in the compartments.
