Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous

[mnsand]

I find it interesting the number of older Mack CF aerialscopes in service at Virginia stations. I have run into a variety during the past year.



Truck 9 at Blackstone is this 1971 Mack CF that had a rehab in 1988. 75' with CF608FAP1142. It originally served Cherry Hill, NJ and was then sold to Avery, North Carolina. Blackstone purchased it from Avery in 2003. Prior to red and white, I believe it was one time lime or yellow in color.



I am told this is the Mack that Corgi did their model from. I am sure there is some additional history on this truck - does anyone have photos of this Mack while in service in either Cherry Hill or Avery?
