I used to live 1.5 blocks from the original West Farms depot on Vyse Ave in the late 1970s. I'd often walk over to the depot, especially on weekdays when buses were pulling in after the PM rush hour. It was cool watching them line up along Boston Road as well as Vyse Ave to pull in. Then watching them vacuum the farebox, go through the wash and the drillers take them over to the other building to park them. I also remember when they used to park a many of teir buses outside the depot along 176th Street and on Crotona Parkway. In those days WF's fleet was mainly: TDH-5303 Approx 6515-6582, '75 Flxible 7878-7917, '70 Flxible 4600-4663, '77 Flxible 9185-9204 and scattered GMC 5303s from the 5201-5525 group. |
