I know it was towed out of the station because it did not run at that time they got rid of it.

I believe that it was donated to College of Dupage in about 2002.

Indeed a classic PIRSCH that lasted well into the mid 1970’s. MFD had only 2 1963 pumpers similar to those. But at that time frame, MFD had a head over heel love affair with MACK.
