At this time NO turrett wagons in the Chicago Suburbs.

Dan,
The International might be D-321, a 1966 model originally assigned to High Pressure 12 and by the time of this photo assigned to Dry Chemical 6-2-6.

What is that International rig behind 674?

So both trucks were taken out by the same fire? Has that happened often?

Forgive me if this question seems very elementary, but are there turret waggons in the Chicago area suburban departments and are they on the MABAS cards? I do not recall ever seeing one.
If there aren’t any, is there a need?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
