[quote name='Steve Loftin' post='294769' date='Apr 5 2009, 12:05 ']Okay, I give...what is "Rainbow Control?"[/quote]
post #4000 for a list of companies/apparatus colors...
Rainbow control was a dispatch system used before the areas went to a 911 system. Companys were dispatched as a color. For instance brown engine, green engine... ect ect ect. The dispatch center was in the basement of Vandergrift Number 1.

That would be my initial guess. Look at the plate on the left rear fender well sheet metal and the roof line behind the cab on the forward part of the rescue box.

This Ford C/E-One from Greenock, Allegheny County, was replaced by two different rigs: their Ferrara 109' Truck and an E\-One engine that was from Boston, Pennsylvania (which is now gone too). I have no idea where this engine ended up.

Whose E\-One engine is that behind the tiller?? I LOVE the paint scheme on it.... but I can't for the life recall who has apparatus painted like that in the area of West Newton.

Bill,
I believe the Greenock Ford/E-One rescue is the one that is currently or was at West Newton. You would have to ask them for sure though.
