Engine 29 has re-located to the quarters of Engine 28 @ 2500 S Throop because of major renovations to their quarters including enlarging the apparatus entrance. E-29 is located near the field of the White Sox. Photo from 1984.

Well they want to raise the opening for the apparatus door, the newer stuff with the raised roof won't fit
