[quote name='IFD39' post='205153' date='Apr 14 2008, 21:16 ']The R Model Macks from Newark--great photo! Gotta love the protective windshield for the guys on the rear step. Do you know how many R model engines Newark had? I know some were in the Newark green/yellow color as well.[/quote]
Newark had a total of 8 R model engines and 1 R model Rescue.
2 in 1968
2 in 1969
4 in 1972 *1 (Engine 6) had a High Pressure Pump and 2 booster reels.
1 in 1975 *Rescue 1 - LAST R model and MACK in the City.
Here are shots of Engine 6 (Busiest Engine in NJ at the time) Its a 1972 Engine that was delivered in Red and with in a short time took the Lime color of Newark. It was in front line service for just 5 years before going to Spare status.

[color="#0000FF"]If you notice in the picture of Engine 6's red Mack R, it is sporting a bit of "Newark Sunburn," or "Flame Tan" along its left side.
Engine 6's Mack R was repainted "slime yellow" after the collision with Engine 20's Mack R, which occurred on the morning of February 27, 1973, while both units were responding to an alarm in a Newark housing project. All the firefighters riding both pieces were injured, a couple of them seriously, and a civilian waiting for a bus was killed.
Even though repaired, Engine 6's rig was never really right again. The frame was apparently slightly bent in the accident, resulting in the rig riding off-center.
On March 20, 1977, Engine 6's Mack R was placed in reserve as a spare, and scrapped in 1985.[/color]
