These are not the same 2 engines. The top photo is mine and was taken somewhere between 1988-1993 at Hershey's parade, as was several of the photos you posted. The engine in the top photo is a Hamerly, the engine on the bottom, I think is an American Lafrance. Again since I am at work I don't have information available to me.
in the post after this, of the other Highspire Ford C engine, that one was sold to Lairdsville, Lycomiong county and has since been placed out of service and I believe sold for parts to local farmers.
