I think I rode on them once as a kid but something about the looks - they have a personality to them that the modern units just don't have.

It had analog front destination panel labelled "Tourist / Sightseeing." It was one of those buses you actually had to climb two steps to get to your seat. Doesn't seem like that long ago. I didn't know OCTranspo still had any of those old relics in the fleet!<br /><br />Dave -- My photo numbers are probably similar to yours. Via is by far the most dominant railway in my photo archives.

My rough estimate is that my VIA shots out number all my other shots 2-1.<br /><br />DaveMDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121999816938895914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-32242268700810300492019-06-05T20:54:17.097-04:002019-06-05T20:54:17.097-04:00When I was a kid I tracked OC Transpo buses.

I eventually caught every 92xx & 93xx on their fleet.<br /><br />I think I had too much time on my hands LOLKeith Boardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221170958612825220noreply@blogger.com
