Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous

[mnsand]

The last stop of the day had me arriving in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was getting late afternoon and I was beginning to loose the sun. When my business meeting was over, I found Lynchburg Station 8 just down the street and stopped in.



Engine 8 usually runs an American LaFrance, which was out of service for the day. In addition, the station houses an older KME as a reserve engine, which was running front line at another station.



With the American LaFrance out of service, Engine 8's crew was using this 2005 Pierce Arrow XT 1500/750/30. I believe that this is the first XT in Virginia.
