The new Velocity rescue is going to Rescue 426 on Edsall Road. The new Velocity hazmat rig I have heard is a replacement for the Hazmat Support rig at 440. Perhaps once it goes in services someone can confirm that.
The Pierce Mack/Granite tanker that was suppose to go to Station 442 at Wolftrap when it is built is in service instead at Station 439. It is still labled for Wolftrap, however, it is sporting Tanker 439 markings. Station 442 at Wolftrap has been placed on hold due to the economy. The County has the land at Beulah Road and Leesburg Pike but construction is probably delayed a few years.
The bond issue for a new Station 412 went through and that project should start soon. There is another bond issue, not sure where in the process it is, to replace Station 404.
The Washington Metrorail system is in the process of working with the MWAA to expand the metro out to Dulles airport and beyond into Loudoun County. The route will go right through Tysons Corner which is precipitating a major redevelopment of Tysons Corner. Rumor is that along with an urban density type development in Tysons Corner will come several new stations, the current number being discussed is two. It is anticipated that developers will pay for construction of any new stations much like Alexandria did with the new Station 209 in Potomac Yard.
I will post pictures of Rescue 439 Tanker 439 and some shots of rigs at 412 when I get back to MN.
