Aww, the dear old feller!

This Steam Calliope traditionally brings up the rear of the Glenside parade, and has bravely served another year, despite the apparent geriatric setbacks. I didn't see the 2008 parade, so I don't know if the truck was towed then or not. In prior years, it was more mobile than now.

Does anyone have info to share about this fire truck calliope? A brief Google search shows it's from Princeton, New Jersey, but I learned little else about it so far.
