I have that somewhere.103 was a Suburban Old Look with manual transmission. It was a sub when 101 or 102 was not working. I do not know what 101 and 102 replaced. There was also a 105, another "Torpedo" bus (PD-3702 ?). I remember seeing it around 1965 in front of their garage, painted in the light brown livery with a For Sale sign. The 106 serial number was right in line with some 5306's that Bee Line bought numbered in the upper 600's (like 691). Strange Sunrise didn't want a S6H. I remember a Sunrise driver saying "we hate that bus". Around 1981, I was on the Shelter Island North Ferry on the same boat as the 102. Maybe it was on a charter. They also had a couple of PD4106's, some Buffalos, then Prevosts. I have seen the GM Parlors on scheduled route service as well. The GM New Look freight buses were initially replaced by the first tranche of Gilligs, numbered in the 120's, then 9500's, now New Flyers. There are all a dime a dozen. Wonder if anyone at Sunrise mgmt today knows of their interesting operations until county takeover ? I remember them threatening around 1970 to reduce scheduled frequencies to 2 buses a day if the County did not give them emergency subsidies. |
