Interesting way that these trucks carry the ground Ladders! I don't believe I've ever seen them carried like that.

A Boston tradition, very common in New England

It's not just New England, and it isn't that recent, either. Here's East Rockaway, NY's Protector Hook, Ladder & Hose's 1980 ALF (John Toomey photo):

Does this put an E-One aerial in every Boston ladder company (except for TL-3 and TL-10)? Also, are all of the Boston engine companies E-One as well?

Sharp looking rigs

Their deliveries in the mid 80's.

Looking at www.firenews.org for Boston listings I would say yes for the engine companies.

Yes, all 33 engines are E-Ones, with 6 more of that spec coming soon all will almost identical. With ladder 16’s above E-One entering service all 20 aerials will be the exact same, with 2 twin E-One Towers. Twin E-One Rescues as well.

Wasn't there a time when every engine company in FDNY was a Mack? At least until the 1980 deliveries of the ALF's.

Chicago had ALF's in this configuration, the members hated them.

Grumpy and Sfdc,
Thank you, gentlemen

There was a time when all FDNY engines and tower ladders were Mack CF's. There was also a time when all FDNY Engines, Rearmounts and Towers were Seagraves

It looks like they are going to be all Seagraves again in the not too far distant future based on the recent purchases.
