The boat has actually been renumbered as Marine 46A so I think that may stay there and be pulled by BN13.

What is the difference between a regular engine and a pipeline engine? is it the pump or something different?

Pipelines are 1500 GPM and 1000 feet of 5 Inch feeder line.
Engines 1000 or 1500 GPM and 500 feet of 5 inch supply line.
Basically it's being able to be lay more 5 inch and bee a water supply company

Nice shots here (and on Flickr site) Aaron! Question: I have seen many "complaints" about the ALF pumpers, but the ALF tillers seemed to have held up well, no?

The 2003 and 2004 LaFrance engines have had a lot of problems, mainly cracked frames. With the latest delivery of KME pumpers, ALF engines of this vintage are being reassigned from busier companies to slower ones in the hope the department will get a few more years out of them. The ALF tiller have held up well. Some are beginning to show their age but they're still on the road.

My company had a ALF 98 tiller good apparatus minor problems as it got older but never OOS for any long periods of time. This was replaced by a 2007 ALF I wish we still had the 98. In a two year time span the 07 was towed to the shop aleast 7 times; on several occassions the transmission would get stuck in a slow gear on box runs and would crawl to a stop. You would have to shut the truck down restart to go 10' and the same thing would happen. The truck always has overheating problems I think the radiator has been replaced 3 times, the air compressor has been replaced several times because it would run constantly and burn out. On several occassions the windshield wiper arms would fly off will responding; nothing like going on a box run while its raining and not being able to use your windshield wipers or hoping they dont fall off the truck. Numerious electrical issues and fit/finish problems like interior grab handles falling off in your hand. The cab has cracks in it already; horrible paint the trailer has many rust/cancer spots all over. LTI makes a great ladder to bad its pulled by a POS.

To bad more are on the way; I was hoping someone else would get the new contract for tillers. ALF was the low bidder.
