I know what the rundown says, but does 219 have a High Pressure engine?

Merry Christmas to all the members and their families.

Tie........1959/1960 Mack 85ft Tillers and/or early 1970's Seagrave Rearmounts.

He surely seems very pro troops. That was a well written piece. It's a shame he's gone. One hopes his successor is cut from the same mold.

Cap, Glad you were able to get a hold of the article. Take care, Jim

I saw it many times during the 60's heading South on Washington Ave, turning East on Eastern Parkway heading out to Brownsville or East New York.

Cap, If you have access to it, the WNYF First Issue of 1969 has a good article addressing your question. If you don't, maybe someone could post it here. Jim (aka 1261truckie)

May they continue to Rest in Peace.

Belated remembrance of history. The Brooklyn - Staten Island plane crash (December 16, 1960) and the Constellation fire (December 19, 1960). May those lost on those days continue to Rest in Peace.

How are the other XR units doing with their respective Rescue units?

May those we lost that day continue to Rest in Peace. May we Never Forget their sacrifice.

Good choices. I'm also partial to 1970 - 1974 Seagrave rearmounts.

A real shame since American La France built some good rigs through the years before 1980. An example was the rearmount assigned to 732/176. One of the chauffeurs in the Tin House said it was the best rig he had ever operated.

And to you as well. Take care and stay safe.

Thanks, Cap for the photos. Interesting to see the block came out of the War Years fairly good. Probably a lot of rehabs and renovations from then until now, certainly more upscale cars and trees. When I went back to my old neighborhood in Brooklyn for the 280/132 Centennial (2013), there were...

In this day and age I wonder how many people know what a "checker cab" is.

I do.

TL 9, TL 18 and E 23 are three that I know of.
