Tom,



Additional info on your great shots:



Coatesville

It was first housed at the Washington Hose Company but was moved to the West End Company in the 1987 consolidation move. It was never repainted to match the other units in the company. It has a 6V71 and it has an automatic transmission. It was put up for sale in 1995 and sold to Franklindale (Bradford County) by a dealer.



Media

I won't dispute that this great WLF may have come from Garfield NJ, however neighboring Wallington NJ did have one almost identical to this for years. Wallington has a history of friendship with PA companies in that region, attending their parades; Garfield may also.
