Dave, I shot this somewhere near Cleveland, TN back in 2007, on the day you, Mark and I shot all those Chattanooga and Tri-Community trucks. As Mark and I were coming to meet you that morning, we passed this truck sitting inside a fenced in business of some kind. We were on some 4-lane highway and the business was on the left side of the road as we were headed towards Chattanooga. The gate was locked, so there was no hope of getting inside the gate to get specs. I got this pic by sticking my lens through the chain-link fence.

Dave, I have it listed as a 1250/500 pumper but, like Andrew, I don't have a year or any other information. I'm not sure if it's still there. It was on the south side of Hwy 64 east of Cleveland in Bradley County.
I don't know if this is right or not but this engine looks like A former Providence , Rhode Island , Engine, that was refurbished by if I can remember correctly Ranger maybe like in 1988 or 1989, .

They never told me where that one came from and I believe it is now long gone. Thanks for the info.
On 3/13/12 (Tuesday), I headed down to Florida to meet up with several other photographers for several days of apparatus shooting. For those who know him, this was Ron Arnow's annual "Winter Thaw" event. On the trip down, I made several stops in northern Florida, west of I-75.
