Linden VFD in Warren Co, VA once owned this 1969 ALF 1000/500 which ran as Eng 41.

Joe,
Thanks for posting the Linden ALF. I have it that it was ex- Ephrata, PA and rehabed by Hahn in 1985. It was donated to Fentress County, Tennessee in 1997.

Hi Eric,
I believe this is Katonah NY's 1962 American LaFrance. It was one of three similar engines we had in service. This one and the 1968 ALF were sold to Northport ME - one of our members had a summer home there - and they served a few years each up there before being retired. You can find images of this rig when it was in service in the Empire State Oldies thread.
