Keystone State Relics - mussels - 03-30-2010

Visiting Centralia is a real life experience of being in a ghost town. Last time I passed through, there were only several buildings left. It is really weird feeling driving along a curb lined street with sidewalks along each side, and cement walks leading to cement steps that only go to foundations. And of course the constant smoke coming up out of the ground. Alfred Hitchcock could not have created anything like it for one of his movies and he was he was the master of such.

Thanks for info on the Car-Mar engine and current state of the town. I have to be honest, I'm suprised that they still have a fire department. The entire situation is truely amazing - the coal fire that forced the town's exodus is expected to burn underground for another 250 years! Seeing the footage and the photo's of the town before the state condemned it and then after - it truely is Alfred Hitchcock-esque.

Not the same rig. Scroll down that page a bit and you'll find the correct one, the former FDNY Engine 65.

I see that now. Looks like they have bought two former FDNY engines. Wonder where the 222 engine went?
Keystone State Relics - OPEN CAB MACK - 03-30-2010
[quote name='Dr. Stinebaugh' date='29 March 2010 - 05:47 PM' timestamp='1269901677' post='373141']
That's amazing, thanks very much Ed! 46 years service divided by 418 odometer miles is well, less than 10 miles/yr.! A real easy life for that rig.
Ed, do you know what Connellsville had for engines before the CF's? What about older stations in the East side?
Thanks, Warren

Doc, the city purchased the very first motorized apparatus in 1910. It was a Pope-Harford. There were 4 engines purchased between this one and the the first open cab Mack. A 1924 750 gpm pumper, a 1928 600 gpm pumper, a 1944 750 gpm pumper, and a 1949 750 gpm American LaFrance pumper.
