G-Man,

Any chance you have Brooklyn box 977 (Washington Ave & St. John's Pl)?

Thanks,

  The closest I have is 6 blocks NW, box 980 @Grand Ave. & Bergen St.

G-Man,
If you would post it, that would be great. It's the old neighborhood and a job at that box (the wall collapse) was the opening scene for the Brooklyn segment of "FDNY Brothers in Battle"
Thanks,

How about some cards for E85 after it moved into the Tin House on Boston Road? I understand that when 85 was first activated with E82 on Intervale, they ran together with 82 to all calls and therefore did not reduce 82's workload.  Did 85 take some of the boxes from 82 and 50?

 

[guitarman314]

Yes, I have a few like E82's homebox 2595 @Tiffany & 169th St.(1969 & 1972) Also E85's homebox 2703 @Boston Rd. & 169th St:

  I also have two versions of box 2500 @Clay Ave. & 164th St. where E82 where both E82 & E85 respond on the 2nd and then E85 was removed after 1976: I also have box 2871 @Powell & Pugsley Aves. that has E85 replacing of E82 and there's no relocator sent to E85 because E82 is close by.

I found an interesting trio of cards for box 2503 @Boston Rd. & 164th St. 1st card is from 1969 when E85 was with 82/31; the 2nd is a special card with an extra line for TCU's from 1971 when E85 had moved to the "Tin House" on Boston Rd., also notice the 2 sections of E50 were on the initial response. The 3rd card is from 1975 when L59 was in service and E50 was back to a single engine:

Thanks G-Man.
It seems that the "R" status for the 3rd Engine on the 1st alarm is inconsistently applied, at least on the cards you have shown.  It applies to a relatively quiet are like E61, but not on a card for E96 or for the Boston & 164 St. card.  Does anyone know when that took effect and did it only apply to certain areas?  I don't remember seeing it in the Department Orders, but several of those are missing at Mand.
