This shot was taken a few months ago outside of the Dryridge, Westmoreland County station. It is for sale, not sure how much. This was refurbed years back and is in great shape.

Fortunato's is turning into a grave yard!! It's a shame to see everything that is there now, rotting away. He has doubled the amount of rigs since I was there last.
This is a shot I took yesterday of the City of Latrobe, PA ex Truck 2. 1979 ALF 100' mm. It is sitting at Fortunatos on Route 22 west of Blairsville. Currently for sale, no engine.
This Ford C/Hamerly is located at Fortunatos. Not sure the year.

Can anybody give me some info on this Fortunato's company in PA? Having a difficult time getting anyone there on the phone. Does anyone locally know if this Coal Run rig is still there?

Chester, Dave Fortunato is the owner. He worked for Burt Lambert in Latrobe for years and went out on his own years ago. I stopped there a week and a half ago and the photos I posted were of all the trucks at his shop. Alot of times he takes a truck on a trade for work performed. The Coal Run rig is there. Dave is a friend of mine and does all of the maintenance on the engines of our city. PM me if you have any questions.

This Spartan/Darley was once operated by the Rescue Fire Company 37 of Susquehannah Twp, PA. It's now located in a salvage yard in Cumberland County, VA.
