Yes, Monessen had a 700 series ALF. It now has a Detroit Deisel in it. I have a picture of it. It is owned by someone in W.V. I dont think it is Harold Berthy though, Our department had a 1933, a 1935 and a 1937. All 3 were fabricated at the Alcoa plant in the city. We still have the 35 at No.1. In fact, it led the Western convention parade in August having our oldest active member riding on it as a co-parade marshall.
