Sunday, July 12. 2015Motor Bus Department HappeningsAfter sitting idle for about 15 years, the 605 was brought back to life yesterday. A huge THANK YOU to the crew who has worked toward this day for the past several months. Our master mechanic, Vince Allen, along with assistance from Fred McGullam, John LeBeau, Richard Schauer, Nick Espevik, Greg Kepka, Joel Ahrendt, Rod Turner and Julie Piesciuk (sorry if I missed anyone). It is an exciting time for the volunteers in both the Trolley Bus and Motor Bus Departments, as more coaches are added to the "operating fleet" all the time. Our goal is to have as many vehicles as possible operational or open and available for inspection on ATTRM Convention Day/Member's Day which is September 19. Thanks to everyone for their continued support!!!
