    God created fireman so cops would have heros haha.

    I don't find this comment funny. You have opened up a can of worms and I expect you to apologize to every police officer. This type of "Humor" is unacceptable. If you have a God complex because you have a set of turnout gear and face smoke and flames then keep it to yourself.

    I have spent 20 years on "the streets" in a city police department. During that time I have been shot at, had to face near riots and been injured several times dealing with violent and drunk people. I have had to search for bombs and people with guns.. Funny, I can't ever recall the room entry I had to make being determined too dangerous and we will just wait for the guy to come out. When was the last time you had to tell people that their friends (or worse their child) had died?

    Still think you are a hero champ, I never did I did my job and waited for the next call.

    It is not my intention to demean the fire service, blow my own horn, or to say one department is braver or better than the other, we all have our jobs to do and we all take risks every time we answer the call, but I am replying to one particular comment. We should take pride in our functions whatever we do and not demean the other services.

    Any idea how these new cars will be distributed? When will the Harlem line see some? Hudson line?

    I cant wait to ride in one for myself. It is about time something is being done! Better late than never.

    The new cars were designed for the New Haven line. The other lines as well as the LIRR have already received new cars. What makes the M8s different is they have third rail and panagraph electrical systems. The cars designed for the Hudson and Harlem lines can not run on the New Haven line between Mt Vernon and New Haven as they switch over to overhead wires in Pelham.

    I was always under the Impression that our old 1942 ALF Ladder came from a fire house in New Roc on Weaver St. In fact I think Weaver St was written somewhere on the rig. But I am glad that after all these years, I finally got the right Scoop on it. I always thought it came from New Rochelle. Thanks guys.

    You are correct in that this was the original Ladder 19. It was in use by the Town of Mamaroneck FD until the early 70's.

    The building shown is the TMFD HQ on Weaver St.
