I'm very familiar with the Chews rigs, which now reside in Camden, NJ as reserve units. The unique thing about the Hahn/Saulsbury rescue is that (so I'm told by the chief that ordered it) it is the only Hahn tilt cab unit that had an extended cab. If you take notice of the amount of space behind the rear cab door you'll see that is is longer than all of the other tilt cabs.
It's also nice to see these rigs (replaced by a 3-unit Pierce order) to have a second life. Camden, NJ had quite a few '86 Hahns that were tough as nails (most are still in the city as reserve units). They loved their Hahns so much that they bought a used piece from Pottstown, PA a few years back (put into first line service - still there) for E11. So, when the prospect of the 3 Chews Hahns came about, Camden scooped them up. I don't even think they're planning on repainting them![/quote]
Correction- The used Hahn came from Good Intent FC-Pottsville (Schuylkill Co.),PA where it was Eng.11.
It is a 1988. It was sold to Camden in 1997 where it is also Eng.11. Pottstown is in Montgomery Co,PA
