Main Transit F.C. of Amherst NY ran this Continental top mount pumper. Anyone know the year, pump, tank and is that an Oshkosh chassis?

I don't have the year, but I have it as a Duplex chassis. It's a 1500/1000. Nice looking B&W's!

thanks for that Dave!

Do you think these late rigs belong here or the New Youk thread?

I do because they are over 10 years old.

If you have any information on anything I post, please feel free to help.

If this one is really from the Rochester in New York State, it is marked completely different from any other older Rochester rigs I have seen. I don't believe they ever ran a Ladder 42, either. All of their ladders were called "trucks". They also had "N.Y." on most of the rigs that did not have the metal plaque on the door.

The "sub-title" of the New York State thread says "Current apparatus", so if the rig is still in service, I'd say it goes there. If basing it on age, I'd say that 20-25 years would be a more appropriate cut-off point, as "most" rigs are usually replaced somewhere in the 18-20 year range, and 25 years old constitutes an antique.

Frank this one is definitely not Rochester,NY, as they never had anything like this, or any rigs numbered like this. I'm thinking it kinda has the Rochester, NH, or the Rochester,MN look to it, perhaps GA Dave knows for sure.

This is Rochester MN Ladder 42 it is a 1982 Spartan/FMC/LTI (100ft Dry Truck). Rochester MN runs two dry Truck Companies one Ladder and one Tower.



Also featured on page 60 in Larry Shapiro book Aerial Fire Trucks.

Westbury, NY Eng 961 was this 1958 Mack B 750/500.

[taurudak]

Lake Ronkonkoma Eng 52412 was a 1973 Mack CF 1500/500.

[taurudak]

Not sure if this was on here a few years ago. This has an extended front bumper - the other one didn't. North Lindenhurst X-Eng 1111 - 1961 Mack C.

[taurudak]

Either this is the same truck posted previously with a newer cab or it was totally a new truck (which I think it is); Hewlett X-Trk 303 - American LaFrance 100' TT.

[taurudak]

Around the same time, Hewlett also had an American LaFrance to sort of match the truck - X-Eng 305.
