Steve:



Let me throw my two cents in as well for these great shots of classic apparatus as well.

Thanks for including the detail about the vehicles as well. You and Mr. Troxel took very good notes regarding them.



I look forward to seeing the additional posts.

ilfirebuff- Thank you for the nice compliment.



SLCPDEXPLORER- Glad you are enjoying them.



1961MackC95- Duane kept very good and complete records on his trips. He even kept track of his expenses in his pocket notebooks. The following is an interesting entry following his station visits on June 15, 1976:



" $3.81 food Ponderosa, $1.12 Gut Bombs"

This 1968 Mack R 1000/400, Mack #MR68F10-1004, delivered on 4/3/1968 was lettered Engine 25, but was at Station 15 in addition to Engine 15's 1968 Mack R. This is a bit confusing as Duane also took the picture of the 1971 Seagrave I posted last night which was also lettered for Engine 25.
