    General Electric TF39 high-bypass turbofan (TF-39-GE-1C) in its cowling. The TF39 was unique in having a "T-Stage" fan and "snubbered" first stage fan blades. It was also unique in that it only powered the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy (although it did provide the basis for the commercial GE CF6 high-bypass turbofan). Given the 1985 timeframe, it is almost certain that this engine was destined for a then-new production C-5B Galaxy, after C-5 production was restarted during the Reagan Administration.

    According to a 1988 directory, Zone 5 is "South Bay" zone of San Diego County. 5200-series equipment numbers are assigned to Chula Vista Fire Department. This suggests/confirms the photo is in Chula Vista. Based on the vehicles, I suspect mid-1970s. I think this is an American La France Centurion engine. Your corrections are welcomed.
