That's amazing, thanks very much Ed! 46 years service divided by 418 odometer miles is well, less than 10 miles/yr.! A real easy life for that rig.
Ed, do you know what Connellsville had for engines before the CF's? What about older stations in the East side?
Thanks, Warren

Doc, the city purchased the very first motorized apparatus in 1910. It was a Pope-Harford. There were 4 engines purchased between this one and the the first open cab Mack. A 1924 750 gpm pumper, a 1928 600 gpm pumper, a 1944 750 gpm pumper, and a 1949 750 gpm American LaFrance pumper.
