The single rear tires would indicate that this rigs is a "Rear Admiral" with all wheel steering. Don't hold me to it, but I think Pennsburg bought this one used from Edina, MN.[/quote]

Since it has the big 3 on the front and the identifying lettering removed from the door, was it later re-assigned to Ladder 3 at 9th and Marion Streets after the Seagrave went in-service at Keystone?
