I know off hand, Bedford Hills had one prior to TL57. I believe that was "Snorkle 1"

And Verplank's TL-46 is a Bronto Skylift - i guess that could be considered a snorkle.

I dont know off hand who else had one.

I know Mount Vernon had one. I also seem to recall Fairview either having a snorkel or a telesquirt at some point.

yeah, BH snorkle was snorkle 1. from what i can reemmber (and this was my days of going to the FH with dad at the age of like 8 or 9) was an 85 foot FWD/young with a pittman snorkle on it. That was our truck like you said, before 57 truck and is last time i heard, a tree trimming truck .

Also not in Westchester, Monroe in Orange County used to run a 1978 ALF 1500 GPM Snorkle prior to being replaced by a 100' Sutphen tower.

Verplanck had an old Young Snorkel 85' which we just got rid of a couple of years ago and now have a Bronto Skylift 100'ft RLP which is similar to the Snorkel.

Yonkers had one and Bedford had one. That's all I can think of.

Yonkers never had a snorkle Tower ladder (s) yes. Mt. Vernon Snorkle maybe went to yonkers 3 times the most.
