Just wanted to share this photo I got of New Rochelle Engine 21 yesterday:

As a bonus, here's New Rochelle Ladder 13.

I believe this ladder was originally built for the City Of Newburgh, but they couldn't pay for it at the time, so New Rochelle bought it because they needed a ladder ASAP. I'm sure one of the NRFD guys could elaborate or corect me if I'm wrong.

You are correct Newburgh could not pay for it so New Rochelle got it. This is why it barely fits into its firehouse

Old Ladder 13, the Pierce Arrow, now owned by a company in Maryland, once served as out Ladder 7 while our rig was out for repairs back in 2001.

The Pierce Arrow Ladder 13 is now serving as a spare ladder for Burtonsville FD in Montgomery County, MD:

That's interesting, I never knew it served Ansonia as well!

I believe Peekskill L-45 was similar to the old L-13.

BTW, what did E-21 run before the current rig pictured?

It fits fine. They even have the MSU (MSU-3) behind it. If you are talking about length wise. Height wise is pretty good too.
