This & That from Here & There

[GA_Dave]

While waiting, I spotted this rig sitting between a big trailer and a reserve Sutphen pumper that I had shot years ago.  I asked the mechanics about it and was told that after being retired as a reserve, there was a plan to put it in the museum, but those plans fell through.  Then there was a plan to modify it into a funeral caisson, but that never happened either.  They said it ran fine when they parked it, about 4 years ago........  I shot it where it was.
