<img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hail.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Wow, 3 tankers from Frederick County, 2 of which, (Lewistown, New Midway) I've never seen photos of. The New Market tanker was a converted fuel tanker, placed in service around 1969. All of these were replaced in the 70's.
It's amazing how many different vehicles were used to haul water 30-50 years ago. The Ford C/Young later served Buchanan Valley VFC in Adams Co.,PA.
1 more from Frederick, this 1980 Mack MC/4-Guys 350/2000 did a yeoman job for the Independent Hose of Frederick from 1980-94.

Warren Jenkins photo[/quote] During 1994, the tanker was involved in a controversial accident, which resulted in the rig being totalled and replaced by the current 95 Peterbilt/4-Guys. Jenkins collection
Engine-Tanker 503 from Chestnut Ridge, Baltimore Co, was this 1986 Seagrave HB with 1250 gpm-pump and 2500 gallon-tank. Virginia McLaughlin photo / Kiefer collection
Engine 263 from Halfway, Washington Co, was this Mack CF 688F with Pierce bodywork, 1250 gpm/ 2000 water. I have it as a 1980 chassis with bodywork from 1991. Virginia McLaughlin photo / Kiefer collection
Is this great looking tanker still in service ?

Virginia McLaughlin photo / Kiefer collection [/quote] This one finally went out of service. It served Baltimore City as a reserve until a few months ago. It's now in a junk yard along Route 1 in Elkridge jacked up on blocks!!
Juergen,
Bay Dist., Brunswick rigs are still in service, Halfway's is 1 of the last CF's in the area. Chestnut Ridge Seagrave now with Rural Security VFC, Lebanon Co.,PA. Maugansville's tanker was rebuilt in 1992 by Interstate, they stretched chassis into a tandem axle to fit a new Techweld 2700 gal.tank. Replaced a couple years ago, sold to Dallas,PA. I think the 10TH District rig was recently replaced.

Correct, it was sold through a broker about 2 years ago. Replaced with a really neat Arrow XT.
