It looks like 21 got TL138's 1979 Mack TL (#MT7908) right after 138 had received a new 1984 Mack TL (#MT8412). Then in 1986, TL21 got a brand new 1985 Mack TL #MT8504.wfd444 said:

Makes me wonder if they had kept E11 in service until the new E. 2nd St. firehouse a couple of blocks away was completed. Would it have been Engine 11 Ladder 11 instead of E28 L11? ???
