It is from Upper Darby Township (station #5) Primos Secane Westbrook Park (the name of three small communitys in Upper Darby)

This was a great wagon. First wagon I ever drove, as well as first open cab ride to a job when I was younger. Will never forget learning how to drive with this piece. I'm glad it went to a great collector that will take good care of it. Great job on the work you have done so far to it! She looks great! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

This engine along with the ALF aerial were taken out of service due to their replacement by a new Smeal quint. This engine is owned by a collector in Scottdale.

Thanks, Frank. This is the 1966 Mack C which replaced that truck. Hopefully you can come up with a photo of the 1954 B Model pumper that served alongside both of them.
The Monessen Ward LaFrance was recently replaced by a 2008 Seagrave Marauder II engine. This was obtained through a grant through the AFG. Monessen plans on keeping the Ward with the rest of their collection.
