Winsted Engine 3 with also at the main station today, the lighting was really good (prob. should have brought the squad out back here) so I shot it again.

They share the Holabird Ave station with Engine 4 that is just several blocks from the main station, but on the other side of a bridge that crosses the Farmington River and up on a hill. Engine 1 is across yet another bridge and up hill from Main St. across the Mad River Winsted was wiped out by the flooding of the [url="http://www.cslib.org/flood1955.htm"]Mad River in October of 1955[/url].
