If I'm reading the WLF plate correctly as #3988, Richard Gergel's listed it as being a 1955 WLF Model 59T sold to the New York State Thruway.

Sorry to see the old girl looking so rough. I used to work in Syracuse in the late 70's early 80's and was a awesome sight to see it roll down the road. In its day it was HUGE!

Here's a shot of it from the front of Saulsbury's sales brochure when it was new.

[quote name='bcfd424' post='267158' date='Dec 19 2008, 10:54 ']I found this truck near Kannapolis, NC yesterday. No info on the truck or why its there. I believe its from New York.



Rushville Hose Company Engine 2331

Ford C / FMC[/quote]



Yes this rig is indeed from Rushville, NY originally. Rushville is located on the Ontario/Yates County line, and the numbering on this rig 2331, indicates that this rig is a pumper tanker by the Ontario County rig numbering system. My notes show this rig as a 1985 Ford C/ FMC with a 1000 Gal tank, and a 1000 GPM pump. Sorry I don't have any serial numbers for the vehicle unfortunately.

[quote name='Mack505' post='276386' date='Jan 24 2009, 20:32 ']BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! As I was turning around to continue on my way, I found this sister Pirsch TDA hiding behind an old Fotomat booth.







As you can see, the fenders are a more pronounced white on this one.



Twin TDA's, inverted triangular department seals, possibly white fenders. Anyone have any ideas where they're from?



BTW, for those with Google Earth, they are visible on the street level photos. I posted the place locator here for you: [url="http://www.rowleyfire.org/9886rr.kmz"]http://www.rowleyfire.org/9886rr.kmz[/url]

You can also look them up using the address 9886 Ridge Rd, Brockport, NY. In the Google shots they are obscured by foliage and the second one is almost invisible.[/quote]



Mack 505, when were you up here in Rochester? Wish I'd have known you were gonna be in the area, we coulda hooked up for some java and some pixing. Let me know next time you're gonna be up in this area, and we'll see if we can't hook up for some java and pixing around town here. Heck I could even bring ya to my firehouse to see our 58 B Mack Engine, and our other Mack engine. Hope you enjoyed your visit to our wonderful and snowy city. Feel free to drop me an email anytime, and hope to hear from you next time you're gonna be in the area.

I'm not positive, but they look to be quite possibly at the old truck junkyards which used to be called Mancuso's on state route 33 between Bergen,NY and Batavia,NY in Genesee County. Those old junkyards used to have all kinds of old firetrucks, police cars, ambulances, and also tractor trailer trucks, and transit buses from all around the WNY area in them years ago, but they have become much smaller since then, and I'm not sure if they even have any of the old relics still lying around, as it's been a while since I've had the chance to stop by there in daylight hours, as lately every time I go thru that area, it's either early morning before sun up, or it's after dark at night time. I'm gonna have to get out that way this spring and see what's still floating around out there, if anything.

Here's a former Ford/??? engine which formerly served the Raquette Lake, NY FD. At the time I took this pic in 2004 it was being stored at the Syracuse FD Training Center and Shops.

Next is this Ford C/ ??? Tanker which formerly served the Cleveland,NY FD. When I took this pic in 2004 it was snowbound outside the Cleveland, NY Firehouse.

Next is this Ford/???? tanker which formerly served the Cuyler, NY FD. This rig was sitting in a field just outside of the village of Cuyler, NY at the time of the pic in 2004.
