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.

Found some more oldies. Some may have been posted in other threads thru the years.



Avalon, NJ once an this 1974 ALF Pacemaker 1250/0/90' snorkle as Trk 1163.

[taurudak]

Good Will FC of Belvidere, NJ Eng 2162 was a 1968 ALF 1250/500 (rehabbed in 1982).

Clinton, NJ Eng 4562 is/was a 1991 ALF Century 2000 2000/750.
