A post on PUMPFIRE.com states that Cornelius, NC has taken delivery of a 1995 Seagrave engine from Cary, NC to run as Engine 6. Anyone know what the plan is for the Grave Yard (I'm guessing a reserve engine is needed for St. 2)?

I believe they were looking for a temp replacement of the E\-One engine last year.

We have aquired a 1995 Seagrave Engine with 70k miles from the Town of Cary, NC. The engine was purchased through the auction site govdeals.com for $17,000. It will be used as a reserve engine and named Engine 6. It may be put into a rotation with our other Engines to keep mileage and general wear and tear down. We will be going out to bid for a new Engine within the next month. The 1991 E\-One was sold last year when we thought we were going to be able to order a new engine prior to the Jan 2010 emmission changes. Due to politcal issues the purchase of the new engine was put off after we had already sold the E\-One. We will refurb the Engine 6 over the next month and hopefully have it in service within the month of October. I will post some pics tomorrow.
