1 of my favorite all-time Montco rigs is this 1964 Pirsch/Pitman Snorkel 85' beast! Known as Platform 21 in this 7/65 photo, by 10/84 when I moved to the Glenmont section of Wheaton,MD., it was known as Trk.18 at KVFD's nearby Glenmont Sta.18. I quickly became familiar with the Pirsch's Detroit Diesel bellow on the hills surrounding its station.
Since 1987, when it was placed OOS, nothing else IMO, has measured up in its place.
