Keystone State Relics
Thanks, I can't wait to see them.



You want just from those areas or all the shots from the trip?? That was where we spent most of the time. I didn't venture into the city itself for rigs and also made it to the Conway area for train photos. Although the weather as we were told was about the worst in a while (hot & sticky not hot & dry like here in Az), still had a great time.

Here are 3 older rigs I shot earlier this week. Sorry for the poor lighting for these 2, but as always timing is everything. When I got to the South Fayette station in Cuddy, the sky was pretty good, but when it came time for their 2 antique's it became overcast plus many volunteers started to show up with their vehicles parked everywhere to set up for bingo for the next 2 nights and this was my only chance to shoot their 4 rigs. Hopefully next time I am there, I will get better shots.



image 1) Antique No.2 "Yellow Jacket" a 1955 Ahrens Fox 750/500 serial #??

image 2) Antique No.1 a 1937 Ahrens Fox. No other info was available including the serial # from anyone there. If anyone knows, please pass it on so I can put it in my notes.



Not sure why I couldn't get Eng 1 to appear 1st.

The other older rig I was able to shoot was Green Tree's 1972 Mack CF-600 1500-750 serial #CF685F-10. They will be replacing this rig maybe next year.



All the other stuff is very current so it may not be appropriate for this thread. Should I post them?
