Spring Valley Engine 17-1750

8 posts in this topic

Today, I took a quick ride through Rockland County, and I got the chance to shoot this beautiful piece (if only the rescue was out too!)

[attachmentid=1763]

Does anyone have the specs on this? Is it new...I didn't even know they had this!

When I took a class in Rockland County a while back a guy from Spring Valley was in the class next to mine. He said that Spring Valley is broken down into different companies.

Here is a link to some of their rigs.

Engine 17-1750

2000 Spartan/Saulsbury 1750/1000

Columbian Engine Company No. 1

I honestly don’t know much about them since the guy I talked to was from Rockland Hook & Ladder Company.

Anyone got a copy of the pictures with Peekskill E131 (Columbian Engine) and that Spring Valley (Columbian Engine) rig from their anniversary parade a few years ago? I think they took the pics in front of Peekskill Station 5.
