Spotted a Buffalo

[bevans6]

Travelling home on the Go train yesterday I spotted a fairly abandoned looking bus that really looked like an early Buffalo GM in a storage yard in Mississauga.  Tall second deck, short front section, not converted, still had all it's windows on the side I could see.  Between Ogden Ave and Dixie, south of the tracks.

Rare to see up here, I have not seen another GM intercity bus in many years, if ever, in this part of the world.  Might have been a movie prop.

Think I saw it a couple of years ago from the TO to Mtl train...

Getting too good at this....I think I may have a problem.

My word, you are good at that!  I found it, got the satellite picture, but didn't think of looking for a street view.  I used to live a few blocks from there, on Ogden ave.

You must be younger than me....Voyageur ran them in the 70's .  Bufs are my 1st and best intercity memories as a kid traveling from Ottawa to TO, Mtl and NY.

All over eastern Canada (I lived in Ottawa) in the 70's, in MC-7's and MC-8's.  I well remember loading them with luggage and band instruments, and watching the driver stir the 4 speed Spicer,  we would cheer when he ground the gears...
