Bought by a collector, the motor went, and it was cut apart for scrap, what a shame, it was one hell of a truck.

[quote name='taurudak' post='330389' date='Aug 18 2009, 10:15 ']Princeton Junction Eng 44 was a 1980 Hahn 2000/750.[/quote]



Engone 44, then renumbered 44-1 then renumbered back to E44 was sold for $1 in about 2002 to Hunterdon County Public Safety for use at the Fire Training Center. Its engine sprouted some issues that the county decided not to repair and subsequently it sat and rotted until being scrapped last year.



It was a 2000 GPM Hale 2-stage pump with 500 Tank. It had a diesel generator with start/stop and floodlight switches on the dashboard as well. This engine had a BIG pump with alot of piping. It had twin 4" rear discharges, 3" discharges on the panels, a 5" rear and a 5" front intake and a prepiped wagon pipe. It was a war wagon. At the end of its life, it carried split beds of 5" hose as well.



This rig was well known around town for its ability to produce copious amounts of black exhaust smoke. In fact, the box once was transmitted for the firehouse after it was started up in the bay and the smoke came rolling out the front bay doors. A passerby called to report the firehouse on fire. No kidding.
