Nice to see they have started working on it. Just wondering we always got updates from poster MWAP on the vintage fleet. I have not seen a post in a while from him.

Interesting if this is the beginning of a restoration. What would be even more interesting is if one of the 1959? Macks 620-624 existed and were to be restored.

Sure, take pride in being a trolling dumbass. Maybe you should go to the southern end of any subway station, and throw yourself in front of an incoming train. Believe me, you'll be doing everyone on SubChat a HUGE favor. Really.

Cheap way out for Alert Coach Lines out of Amityville, for the bus that did most of its service on the Amityville to Walt Whitman Mall route. When the county took over, they combined this route with Huntington Coach's Halesite to WW Mall into today's S-1.

I remember that bus as being white.

As mentioned before, that bus was loving driven by a fellow, Frankie, who didn't want any other buses, even when Alert offered to buy him a more modern bus.

Better he just jumps to the track and checks to see if the third rail is alive at the end of the station where the 10 or 11-car stop marker is. Please, please don't traumatize the Train Operator. The TO's go through enough.

Now that's a dedicated bus driver. I remember Frankie.

I remember him too.... Fortunately, his son saved #617. Considering this bus was taken out of service around 1982, it is a tribute to his son that he kept it operational and ready for restoration. His son also helped me many times with my own bus, and for that I'll ever be grateful.
