I attempted another stop or two after leaving Station 9 with no luck either, however little did I know what awaited me at the last stop of the day. By this time it was getting pretty dark, and my only intent was to look in station windows to get information for the database. The last stop of the day was the United-Baileyton VFD in Greene County, TN. Most of you remember some of the stuff I've posted from Greene County. There are dozens of old northern trucks serving there, so I knew United had to have something neat. After looking in the windows for 15 minutes, a gentleman driving a Chevy S-10 truck with a tag that said "Papaw Jim" stopped by the station. He was happy to let me inside & show me around, but he only had time to move one truck, because he had to get back home & start working on his hay again. You'll see why I chose this truck!
