Very interesting video , that was a tough job, all that hand scrubbing! Septa had a bus that was flooded, and they rebuilt it. I wonder if a similar cleaning/disinfect method was used?

Thanks,hey paul

Imagine what they had to go through to rebuild 200 rail passenger cars and a couple of dozen engines.

Sticker looks like MJQ. I don't remember any buses going under water in Sandy.

Near the end of the video, around 7:27, the narrator says that this is a Hurricane Sandy bus from Jersey.

Obviously not a bus from New Jersey.

Maybe these buses were sent to an out of state contractor for cleaning ?

Definitely gotta thank Sandy for that... probably the most thorough cleaning that bus has ever gotten!

This bus is currently at MJQ, and when the video starts you can see the depot sticker near the front door.

Then why did the videographer state that the bus he was cleaning was from NJ ?

Maybe it got caught in Lodi at Atlantic Detroit Diesel-Allison, or another contractor out there for work? An then maybe it was returned after engine work, but, ..... a "little damp"?

Maybe you can't believe everything other people say. Maybe you can't even believe this ?
