This truck was just recently purchased by East Lincoln and hadn't even been re-lettered yet.  It has been since re-lettered.

Andrew,

 

I visited the East Lincoln station last year, very impressive. Are the new rigs replacements or additions?

[bcfd424]

They are additions and replacements if I'm not mistaken. I believe the Freightliner / Wolverine has been sold to the Patterson FD in Caldwell County, NC.

[jshippey]

Thanks! I never made it to their second station.....fantastic people to visit with.

WOW, thanks for posting!!!! I have a listing for this as a 1947 or '55 (my contact wasn't sure) Mack and at one time was Engine 1. Anyone have further info?

Here are some more recent finds from the mountains of NC/TN/SC!  It's not very often I get to shoot cool colored trucks down here, so I have to take full advantage of every chance I get!

Here's another one for the color files!  Though common-place for some areas, to find a silver/red truck in this area is almost unheard of. According to our driver, the Chief stated that from now on, every new truck purchased by Greeneville, TN will be painted in this same paint scheme.

Here's a kitbash of a former rig that many of you have shot in several different departments over the years.  This truck used to be mounted on a 1989 GMC 7000 cab & chassis.  In the past few years, they acquired this 2000 Freightliner FL70 and remounted the body onto it.  FYI, the 1989 GMC 7000 cab & chassis is now a wrecker in Hot Springs, NC.

These photos aren't as good quality as the previous ones, but here they are nonetheless.  I thought this was interesting.  I'd never come across a FES engine before.

This was another unique find.  Didn't think I'd ever get to shoot the remains of a Pierce Javelin here in my area.
