Wow, Driving to work at a site this morning in Faribault Minn. and I saw bunch of buses, mostly MCI. A lot with the Greyhound emblem still on them. More coaches than I have ever seen at one place. Was not aware that they were there. ABC Bus Co..
This is not a plug for them, don't know anyone that works there. Just some information I thought I would pass along.
Anybody live near here? Leaving here on Saturday, back home to Texas.
Happy Trails,
Paul

I live NW of Fairbault(Mapquest says 46 miles) However I'm leaving for Oshkosh, WI early Friday morning. I'm around home all day Thursday if you want to see a Setra 215 in a mild state of dissassembly.
I will see if I can work it into my schedule, would have to be late afternoon on Thursday. Will not know until then. I would like to meet you and of course see the coach you are working on, no matter what stage you are in. Send me an email, look in from my profile (yahoo address) with a phone number if you like. Whoops, saw your phone number in you avitar. I will call you if it works out.

Let me know.
Paul,
I was just by ABC in Ocoee(Orlando) the other day and there lot is full to the gills.
Must have a been a big trade in all over.
Looks like 90% hounds.

I was told today that this one site is getting a lot of buses from Ca. The lot was very full.

Paul -
That lot is the main office for ABC Bus, has been there for years.
They're one of the big players in the bus industry, both new (VanHool) and used coaches. Have five offices around the country, big rival to MCI, in terms of number of service facilities.
FWIW & HTH. . .

Hey,, I went from Dallas,tx to Faribault, MN for my NJ transit in 2003... Left my car on there lot for a month,,, flew back,,,to get my car... Dallas wanted $4000 more because they drove them from NJ to Dallas...
I thought if Minn. drove them from NJ without a problem,,, I could drive from Minn to Dallas...
Just my 2cents
