It still looks like there's a leaf stuck in the grille with the new Seagrave nameplate.......I don't like it........not the rig, the nameplate.

The nameplate, as I was told, is an anniversary nameplate. What anniversary, I dont know since Im not even sure thats the real reason for it. I believe its an option, but I could be wrong.

The name plate is for the 125th anniversary of Seagrave. Since I no longer rep for them, I'm not entirely sure how they choose it, but it was either for units produced during the aniiversary or ordered during the anniversary. Last I heard they were thinking about keeping it as a standard logo.



It's very similar to a logo they used from the early 1900's unitil the 40's, although I don't know if they put it on the rigs back then. It may have been strickly a marketing thing.

And I managed to get these photos in Watertown on my way home. This is a 2006 95' E\-One rearmount tower ladder. And then an inside station shot of the tower alongside WFD Engine 1s 1994 E\-One Protector. They are due to recieve a new E\-One 100' rearmount for L2 by summers end, so I guess Ill have to go back.

Nice truck, but what in the heck is in the background?

That is the Deer Island Sewage Treatment Plant run my the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority or MWRA. That pic only shows a small portion of the plant. Heres a pic I took last summer from Boston harbor which shows how massive the plant is.

Thanks for the quick response Kevin. For being what it is, its a pretty cool structure.

MWRA, which controls the plant purchased the truck for the town, along with most of the equipment carried on it. SO besides the fact that it makes a cool backdrop, thats why I chose that particular location to photograph the truck.
