[/quote]They really are different rigs, the windows in Trey's photo are larger. I took those three photos at least 12 to 15 years ago and the way it appears, quite possibly both rigs could be W12 in different time periods.

1. I miss the term "Wagon" here in NOVA - AND the 2-piece "Wagon + Engine" or "Engine + Pumper" concept

2. I miss the retired OWL and DCVFD Hahn rigs

3. I Miss all the OWL Hurricanes

4. Oh, yeah. I miss the Roto-Ray's!

I made a spur of the moment trip to Charles City County on Thursday. This is a very rural locality just east of Richmond International Airport. There are three fire stations in the county and I was fortunate to catch someone at the main building on Adkins Rd. Several of these units were lacking a builder plate, thus some missing information. Most of their apparatus is painted this dark blue color. Not sure why, but this first rig is lettered as an Engine rather than a Tanker.

[/quote] Nope originally Wagon 14 now is a fleet reserve stored at OWL's shop/warehouse. This unit is an 88 E\-One, is the OWL 50th anniversary unit, and the 1st "Popemobile" or raised roof E\-One pumper.

This happen about 0430 hours Sunday May 20th while enroute to a fire call. Appears he may have went off unto the shoulder and over corrected, according to the VSP.

The posed shots were all taken by myself. I'm trying to get photos of the newest units but the PIO is playing games now.
