Keystone State Relics - BA000049 - 07-11-2006 Scott, Some no so happy additional info on the Lancaster City tiller: 1951 Peter Pirsch, semi-cab tractor, 85 ft aluminum tiller trailer, cost $29,427. It was placed into service on 1/19/51 as Truck “A”. Sold to Progress-Paxtonia (Dauphin County) in 1973. In 1986 at the Paxtang Daily Market Fire, a rotary gear broke and it was retired from service. On 7/10/93 it was owned by the Clear Spring VFC of Hagerstown, Md as an antique, it was being driven to the 18th Annual Penna. Pump Primers Muster in Harrisburg on I-81 near Shippensburg, the universal joint broke and the driveshaft pulled the fuel line from the tank which caused the rig to loose its brakes and start a fire from the tractor back through the trailer - Eric Russell the driver was killed when the rig crashed and he was thrown under the wheels - tillerman Jeffery Jenkins was seriously burned. Bruce W. Anderson Keystone State Relics - Guest - 07-11-2006 Keystone State Relics - Guest - 07-11-2006 [color="#FF0000"]Elwood City, PA operated this 1949 Reo rescue truck. I know that Boyertown built many of these rigs as civil defense units. Were there other manufacturers that built similar units? Mattson Collection[/color] Keystone State Relics - Guest - 07-11-2006 [color="#009900"]Norvelt, PA operated this 1950s vintage Ford F 4-door pumper. It's a shame that most of these cool rigs aren't around anymore. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Mattson Collection[/color] Keystone State Relics - Guest - 07-11-2006 [color="#009900"]Norvelt, PA also operated this Ford C/Howe pumper.
