The pumper was recently purchased by a new owner and is in Alna for boiler work at ML&M.
It will be operational when repairs are complete, not sure where the pumper will be displayed.

The Amoskeag is a rare pumper since it's the only surviving self propelled pumper made by the
Manchester Works. Manchester built a number of horse drawn pumpers (some survive) and used to build locomotives.
