RR Boxcar for delivering Fire Apparatus - 1947

[fyreline]

I certainly agree that there was more than one boxcar used for the delivery of over length trucks, particularly fire apparatus. I have seen photographs of manufacturers other than American Lafrance delivering their larger aerial ladder trucks this way, including both Seagrave and Peter Pirsch. In fact, my own city (Syracuse) received a 1941 Seagrave 100' TDA in this manner.
