Thanks Shoop! Believe me, I tried my best to get a pic of the WLF. It's been SOLD already <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> It's now serving Stanley Valley, TN which is way on the opposite side of Hawkins County from where we were headed that day. I have a contact at Stanley Valley, but I haven't heard from him about when I can come shoot it. For your records, it's now "Engine 1906" at SVFD.



Here's the last truck from Cooleemee, and the newest rig in the house. It's not even in service yet. They just took the old lettering off a few days before I shot it. And of course, the sun had to pop behind a cloud the size of Texas while I had to wait on the air to build up in this truck. Grrr....
