Thought it was a 94 Pierce; typo perhaps?

Does seems odd, but PFD has a very long replacement cycle with their engines, lol. PFD Website says 1984, and the other Pierce as '94. Can someone from Pleasantville confirm?

E259 which is at HQ and is a "reserve" engine is an 84 pierce, while E260 which is at D.P. Hays Hose is a 94 pierce. The E90 designation is currently not on any rig since the old E90 was sold around 2007, but is reserved for Pleasantville. Once E90 is in service E259 will most likely be sold and the designation will not be used again until another new engine is needed. Also I would assume E260 would become Pleasantville's reserve engine, but E90 will be stationed at D.P. Hays Hose.

Another way of explaining it is that Pleasantville has 4 engine designations, but only 3 in service at a time and the designations are rotated.
