I must make apology to you all for being rather disorganized when I posted last night. After I had finished posting last night, I discovered that I’d left about a third of the images that I had scanned from Duane’s collection on another hard drive. I knew there should have been more of both Duane’s slides and those that Duane had traded with William Porter to post covering the 1938 through 1947 period of apparatus. Tonight I’ll post the remainder of those images.
I also made a big mistake in “Post 26.” Please disregard the info I had posted there. By 1973, the Baltimore City FD was beginning to rehab a number of the 1948 Mack engines and paint them in the new White & Omaha Orange color scheme- as you will see in other posts tonight. The Mack engine in post 26 was actually of a first-line BFD Engine Company.
Here is a William Porter image of Baltimore City Engine 54 running a 1938 Mack 750/??? pumper,
