Now to take you back in time. The Water Tower in Action along with 2 wooden Aerial Ladders in the 300 blk of Pa. Ave. NW.1925. Also take notice of the Hose Bridge on the left so that the trolly tracks would stay open. But it looks like a Pumperman parked on the tracks <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Banghead' /> Thanks to Shorpy.com for the pic.

The next 2006 wagon in sequence after Engine 25 was Engine 7. The image is the same fire as shown above with E-25. E-07 had used their wagon pipe, seen in two pieces on the street. The machine is Shop serial S-168 (Seagrave 78D62). Engine 7 sports a Mars Light in lieu of a Rotoray.
