And rounding out the fleet from Woodbine Station #1 is this minipumper. Woodbine Station 2 contains a Ford F-800 engine they got used as well, but the firefighter didn't have time to take us down there unfortunately.

Woodbine bought this tanker from Artemus, KY for $1 this year. They're doing some engine repairs on it, then they plan to put it in service.

That about wraps up the past few weeks' excursions! Hopefully some of you have better info on these trucks than I do. As always, if you have pics of the trucks with their former homes, please post away! I'm going back out Saturday to see what else I can round up!

Here it is in NMB.
they were just getting ready to sell it when we were there. it was like a hundred and thirty degrees out when I shot it, which accounts for the murkiness.

[quote name='Andrew2340' post='310887' date='Jun 3 2009, 23:09 ']I got a little excited when I found this truck! I figured it might possibly be GA_Dave's old truck from College Park, GA (the one that didn't get wrecked!) or one of Chattanooga, TN's old minipumpers. However, upon a little investigation, we found a Texas inspection sticker in the window. Hmmmm, the mystery kills me...

Andrew,
All your info is correct on the X-Perrysville engine. Perrysville is located just north of the City of Pittsburgh. That engine hasn't changed since it left Perrysville, other than the lettering on it.

This truck was recently replaced by a 2009 Kenworth/4Guys pumper-tanker. I shot these last Saturday and they were leaving early the following morning for Myersdale, PA to retrieve their new truck. As soon as the new ride goes in service, this truck is being sent to Centerview, TN. Some of you may remember me posting pics from Centerview a few years earlier. They have a Ford C/Bruco engine (ex-Phoenix HC of Hollidaysburg, PA), a Ford L/Grumman pumper-tanker (ex-Ossippee, NH), and two brush trucks.
