Thank you very much for that !! I saw a photo of 4057 in the blue paint,and the right side emergency light was off-center,and when it became 7243,that light was still in the same position !! I should have been able to figure out that 4057 became 7243 due to that one small detail.Also,when that bus was blue in the '70's,it was badly beaten-up,but when it became white,it looked like a brand new bus.I also noticed that 4055/7241 made it to the list.I watched 4055 when its engine caught on fire,but it was placed back in service in no time at all.The bus was white when that happened.I took photos of 4050,and 4103 when they were blue,but I noticed 4103 did not make your list,so I'm assuming it was scrapped.The 4100's came to 5th Avenue Depot from somewhere else,along with the 6200 GMC's and both these buses did not have the roll signs,instead cardboard was placed in the windsheild.Go to hopetunnel.com and you can see them there.
