This was taken on the street in front of the museum shop. E 51 is still identified with DNC Yosemite, the YosemiteFire Department. Engine 51 disassembled and loaded onto a transport to be delivered to a paint shop in Garden Grove in 2010. Every piece of equipment, every bolt and nut, all the interior, all the electrical, everything removed but the shell of the engine was left. Every storage compartment, every nook and cranny was painted. It was, and still is, quite a sight to behold! Come in and see for yourself.
Why does it matter?
Upon E 51’s return, the Engine regained its “real” identity as the world famous Engine 51 from EMERGENCY!
