[stylemonsterz]

i remember one time at a local on pine st that rig was putting out clouds of black exhaust smoke

[phybergod]

I always loved the way that truck sounded. And the big cloud of black smoke when it reach the top of 1st gear.

[aaronjmott]

Unfortunately it has been out of service for about 5 months now. It's no longer at Snorkel 5 either,

[phybergod]

yeah... I know [bummer]. I actually was there when they put the KME Ladder Tower 5 in service, and again when they replaced it with the current ALF Tiller.

Good video.
