do any of the VA guys know how many Mack CF's York County had? I have two John Friis shots from there, one of E110, a 1976 CF and E210 a 1973. both appear to have been refurbed with high side compartments. anyone know who did them and when? I also have this shot I just won on ebay. Its a Tom Bair shot of York County E1. its marked 1971, but I believe it is the 1973 CF.I compared them they are identical exc. for paint and the highsides. anyone know for sure.

thanks in advance!

Thanks for the update on the rigs gents. I got to drive Yorkshire's old Hurricane during DPO at FS25 a few summers ago and was repeatedly reprimanded for driving too fast during evolutions... lol. I couldn't resist.



Great to hear the Seagrave is still in service!

I guess its the older of the two. I know its costing them to much to keep it in service and they are both pretty well worn. I know that they have started the replacement process.

Jr, when I was at FS11 months ago they were hard at work spec'n at least one new Engine. I wanna say their current Quantums are from the late 90's (?) and considering their call volume it seems long overdue to bring in some new rigs. Just my opinion.

While I'm not usually a fan of commercial chassis Engines I (for some reason) kind of like these Richmond rigs.



Anybody have any info on if they are still considering returning to a more conventional Truck Company/Engine Company system vs the Quint concept system?
