I love this thread! Recently I watched a documentary on the coal fire in Centralia PA that forced the entire town to move. Does anyone have any pictures of old Centralia fire apparatus?

Visiting Centralia is a real life experience of being in a ghost town. Last time I passed through, there were only several buildings left. It is really weird feeling driving along a curb lined street with sidewalks along each side, and cement walks leading to cement steps that only go to foundations. And of course the constant smoke coming up out of the ground. Alfred Hitchcock could not have created anything like it for one of his movies and he was he was the master of such.
