As for the Bravo designator, what about an engine that was built as a rescue engine? E421B isn't really RE421? I understand why E422B is a bravo unit becouse it doesn't carry what is needed to be considered a rescue engine. Not arguing just curious.

RE421 was declassifed as a Rescue Engine when we took off some of the equipment. The markings were not removed. It still carries a Hurst and all that go with it, although never used, it is now just an engine. There was a time, it would go in as the front line rescue. Most likely, the new one will not have the Hurst and as much equipment. Certainly a shorter wheel base.
