It has theirs, yours, Turtlecreeks, and a few others from that era. There are about 5 in the picture if I am not mistaken. A real nice photo.[/quote]





It was both Vandergrift Foxes, Highland Hose from Tarentum, and Apollo #2's



We have a few photos of it... I will get it scanned and get it into here.

The 47 ladder truck was replaced by the 1979 100' m/m open cab ALF. It was recently replaced a few years ago by a 100' Sutphen tower. The 79 ALF along with #5's Hendrickson sit at Fortunatos, a repair facility on Route 22, west of Blairsville. The Hendrickson went to a Cambria Co. station after #5 received a new KME engine. From there Fortunato bought it. I thought the Hendrickson was newer than a 1970. #3 still has the Century ALF and #6 had the Ward refurbed. #6 has a KME air truck painted to match the Ward and #5 has a KME rescue to match there engine now.

Ed,



Your semi right about the Hendrickson/FMC from Latrobe. After being sold from Latrobe it went to Tunnelton-Conemaugh in Indiana County before heading to Fortunatas. Now it is sitting in his lot missing the body. What a waste.

Sorry Shoop. Last I talked to Dave Fortunato, he was planning to scrap this and the aerial this spring. He also had old Engine 2 from Latrobe.

Keystone State Relics - Guest - 03-03-2009

Ed,



Any word on what he is going to do with the W. Newton tiller. I would suppose he is going to scrap it since it failed the aerial certification. It would be nice if Andy Leider could get his hands on it.

Keystone State Relics - e290l103 - 03-03-2009

Andy Leider might own this one now. he has a 1941 E model painted yellow like this one. I will have to print out this pic and take it with me next time I go up there, for comparison.

Oh yes! There are some good ones in this batch. The Kecksburg ones were the most interesting. I never knew they had a tanker before the Autocar. It seems to have an outside appearance similar to Tanker 91. I knew Dry Ridge had their tanker remounted and updated, but I don't know what chassis it used to have. Maybe you could ask your former "source" from over there...! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Hysterical' />



Here is Dry Ridge, Westmoreland County, Tanker 91 for comparison. I have no idea if this is the Kecksburg one. Maybe someone else can chime in?



[Image: 300865-R1-13-14_014.jpg]



Also, for what it is worth, here is Kecksburg Rescue 76-5 as it appears today; I believe it has the same body with some updates. Incidently, this is their first due unit for many calls, from fires to accidents to public service, and has seen a lot of work.



[Image: 322597-R1-14-10A.jpg]



I had heard before I left that Latrobe #6 was replacing the Ward with an American LaFrance but I don't know if they ever followed through. Latrobe #3 had a slightly similar-looking unit to the IH "bus" posted in service up until recently; it was replaced with the all black Freightliner/Kenco?? (Wing??) haz-mat/ventilation truck that is probably posted on this site numerous times.

I believe you are right Bill, it was a Kenco and it is all Black with red stripes. And I believe it is lettered as you stated.

Keystone State Relics - EngineMan - 03-05-2009

Bill, from what Wayne told me a while ago, Tanker 91 is an old Milk truck they had converted.
