Bridgeport, Alabama No. 1 Old Timer

1954 Howe/GMC 500gpm, 500 gal water tank. Pavel, if both those growlers work, that is one serious noise maker! It is unusual to se 2 Federal Q2b.s on 1 truck as those things will eat up an alternator. On display outside the Bridgeport, AL NC&StL RR Depot.

TheFireman - great shot of a Classic rig.

I imagine she got jazzed up a bit, over the years - she would have had only a DC generator (dynamo) when first built, which wouldn't have supported much "electrics"....

You must have been indulging "Rail-Road" side as well; Off the Topic [Sorry, Marcel(s); a "Plug" for the other 'Site]. that Nashville, Chattanoga, and, St Louis, RR Depot (preserved) in unique Spanish Mission style is well worth a look.

Hey Fireman, thanks for the pic of a neat old classic, I'd have to do something about the 'growler' that's pointing upward, I couldn't live with that!!??
