Another new unit is getting ready to be put into service at Niles Station 2. Last week we posted the new Engine 2 for Niles as submitted by Karl Klotz.

Now we have photos from Larry Shapiro of the new Ambulance 2 for Niles along with some additional information.

• The current unit assigned to Ambulance 2 (2008 IHC 4300/2009 Medtec Type I) has already been renumbered as Ambulance 3, where it will be assigned.
• The current Ambulance 3 will become a reserve piece
• The current Ambulance 3R will reportedly be disposed of
