Fairfax County purchased five 1973 Imperial engines equipped as 1000/500. Eventually, all 5 were rehabed by E\-One. These rehabs began a very long relationship with E\-One.
Wagon 16 in Clifton had one of the 1973 Imperials assigned there.
I photographed this engine in front of the Clifton House, across the street from the station.

Mike, It's quite funny you posted this picture since I just had a discussion with a friend of mine (just last night)who's first job at American Fire Equipment was to remove the bodies from these 5 Imperials for the E\-One glider project. Strange that these units went to PemFab firstto get new cabs and then to E\-One for the bodies.
