Here is a photo I took of Wagon 24 from Woodlawn many years ago. Known as the Rt.1 Rocket, it was a 1971 Seagrave 1000/500. I know after leaving FS 24 it went to Station 16.
What makes this piece special is that it was the first "county" purchased engine.
As Paul stated, it ultimately went to Sperryville, Virginia. When Fairfax County desired to have their first county purchased engine back into the department, a rehabed 1983 Duplex/E-One was given to Sperryville in 2000. I believe both departments were happy - Sperryville had a "newer" engine and Fairfax had a piece of their history back.
