Here's Engine 1 in a reserve 2002 Pierce Dash 1500/500.  S/N 13045-08.

 

I asked the Engineer where the KME's went and (not to start the old apparatus debate yet again) got the answer that the KME's were [insert favorite derogatory term here...] and they're going away (not sure about what that means, but they're at least being moved out of the busier stations).  So, both Engine 1 and 201 have Arrow XT's, but Engine 1's XT is back at Pierce getting some warranty work done, so they're in this reserve.  I didn't see Engine 201 this time, but I went by the shops and saw at least half a dozen new XT's getting prepped.
