Nice looking no nonsense engine.

They will rotate the engines every so often to even out wear and use. One of the two 2000 E-One’s is to be traded in on the new engine. The other will be kept as a spare. I suspect that once the new engine is placed in service, it will run as first out to make sure they get some miles on the rig and work through any bugs that need to be addressed.

Aidan–Truck 44 is in service right now. Drive by the station every day on my way to work. Engine 51 is in the station, but I believe it’s in reserve because Engine 49 is running first out right now. Don’t know where Engine 50 is at.

What happened with Engine 51 and Truck 44? Are they OOS right now?

As usual very well thought out vehicle not some over the top monstrosity. Will be a great working rig. And they brought back Engine 77!!

Looks sharp. I run the risk of scorn by those who don’t like to talk about the rigs appearance but that zigzag stripe is a nice touch.
