As Coatesville fell into decay, two 1968 Hahn 1000gpm pumpers were purchased used from Edge Hill Fire Company, Abington Township, Montgomery County. The rig pictured is the "Washies" Hahn, Engine 41-1, Chester County Station 41, The other went to the West End, running as Engine 43. One was later slimed. (BTW, West End had a prior Hahn, a 1934 Booster and Hose Truck). The "new" Hahns replaced the 2 Seagrave Sedan Pumpers, 1950 and 1951, if I remember correctly, which were sold to Frank Tremel, aka "Horse Pimp", and have changed hands numerous times since. I am looking for a photo of the Washies Anniversary style 1963 Seagrave pumper, which I rode on years ago..... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Captain.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]
