Today Norfolk Southern brought it's first responders locomotive #9-1-1 out to Harrisburg to participate in the Pennsylvania Pump Primers convention. The convention is where firetrucks, mostly vintage and retired with a few newer and active rigs mixed in, draft out of the Susquehanna River and pump water for several hours.

The 9-1-1 was posed for 2 hours in the Lurgan Branch bridge and created some wonderful photo opportunities.

I thought y'all might enjoy a few pics from today's event.

Looks like they put on a good display of equipment there. Would have been fun to attend. My grandson loves fire equipment, as do many young folks.

 

Sad news about American LaFrance. All the fire trucks around here when I was a kid were made by them. Wonder what happened.

 

Also, modern fire trucks in 1:43/1:48/1:50 scale for the layout are hard to find at reasonable prices ($20-$30 range) actually any price that I have seen so far. I have really only found one and I think it was $20-$25. There are some older ones like late 1920's or so to early 1940's vintage, but the modern ones seem to be rare.
