We
are scheduled to run 6 trolley coaches and 2 motor buses on Saturday for Bus
Day. Depending on mechanical condition
and operator availability, here is what we envision. We will start with Chicago Marmon-Herrington
9553 at 10:00am. It will be joined by
Seattle Gillig 4123 at 11:00. Both will
run until 11:45. At that time 9553 will
be parked. At 12:00, Milwaukee
Marmon-Herrington 441 joins 4123. At
12:45, 4123 is parked and at 1:00 Seattle M-A-N 4020 joins 441. At 1:45, 441 is parked and at 2:00 Dayton
Flyer 925 joins 4020. At 2:45, 4020 is
parked and at 3:00 Seattle Twin 633 joins 925.
Finally at 4:00, 9553 goes solo again until 5:00pm. Throughout the day motor buses CMC GMC 605
and Janesville RTS 412 will supplement trolley bus service but will not run on
a specific schedule (again subject to condition). The Bus Stop Shop will be open for business
again this year, selling surplus items from the Museum's collection to raise
funds for a new bus garage. We
appreciate the tremendous support and feedback we received after last year's
inaugural event. We hope this year will
be even better!!!

7009 number boards look good. Is there a way to turn a locomotive around at IRM? In case you ever had a mind to connect 7009 and 6847?
