Thanks that was before my time. I do remember the 55 FWD. the shops put a cover on the cab. There was a short time that 50 interchanged with 31 and they would meet at west farms and 31 would take the wooden aerial back to Throgg Neck.

When i was growing up in Throggs Neck in the 1970s Lad 50 had the wooden Aerial and a FWD tractor. If i remember correctly they got a metal aerial in the late 70s

Interesting all truck companies were Tower Ladders.

I agree Tom's Presentation was truly outstanding. I enjoyed it.

i agree i remember buffing a job the day after the 77 blackout in a con ed transformer down near 132 st. We were very glad when Lt. Danny Cronin of E71, a good friend of my fathers, asked us to take a man back to qtrs to start the meal. It really smelled bad in all that heat

Happy Birthday Ken.

The very first cruise I took in 2011 We pulled into Nassau and were greeted with this fire and were delayed getting off ship. when we did get off and were able to walk around there were only 3 or 4 fire trucks visible. also hard t be believe because Nassau is an island we never sa a fireboat at...

My Grandfather lived in Queens Village in the 70's. I know that E304 and L162 were first due. E301 and L 150 2nd due I know 326 and 160 were not yet formed. I believe E 251 Third due.

Thank you all I am glad you enjoyed the presentation. I really enjoyed putting it together.

835 Westchester would be the 2&5 line. 6 train does not hit westchester ave until it crosses bronx river ave.

Happy and Healthy New Year to all.
