[quote name='Shoe' post='191719' date='Feb 25 2008, 11:15 ']It appears that Atlanta took delivery of an ALF in June of 1956. I'm thinking that it would have been a 700 series but, the numbers below don't make sense to me. Could it have been the 900 Series at 14's?
Atlanta GA 1956 7-75-TKO N-110 6417 C-922 6/28/1956 20110
Does anyone know, or have a picture of this?[/quote]
Here is a reference that I made to it back in Feb. I'm being told that it also served as Ladder #11. If you have access to a 1983 yearbook, it can be seen on page #59 next to the drill tower at #7. I also learned that it's last run as Ladder #23 was to 130 26th Street. The brakes failed en-route and it was taken out of service. After it was repaired, it was a reserve for a few years. I want to verify it, but I am told that the drivers are Manuel Trujillo (now Batt. Chief in Sandy Springs) and Donnell Johnson (now Capt. at airport).
