From Steve Redick:
Some Morton Grove rigs … the old squad and the Pirsch quint … followed those rigs when they were brand new on my 2 wheeler bike … those were the days … Morton Grove Engine 5 Hendrickson E1 …
Summit’s old squad … I loved those old Gerstenschlager type units …
CFD H&L2 just after being vacated … no longer standing …
I kinda like looking at these old shots … if you enjoy these photos, why not share some memories with the rest of us ….
