I'm not certain that this is what your looking for, but this site has MCI delivery lists. If you scroll about halfway down the page, you just choose the model. http://www.angelfire.com/ca/TORONTO/builders/mcilist.html#delivery |

My understanding is that Winnipeg builds the structure, and Pembina does the finishing and installation of the powertrain. So there may not be a seperate listing for Pembina.

Hello
Just enough work is done in each plant to satisfy the regulations of the day as to domestic content of the country the coach is destined for.
Orion, the transit bus folks still practice this between Mississauga, ON and Oriskiny, NY.
Archaic and protectionist interventions by regulators continue to interfere with commerce, either openly, or through funding agreements containing content expectations.
Only serves to drive the costs of production up.
We all end up paying.
happy coaching!

My MC1 does not show up on the list either, so the only thing you can do is guess. There is one item that was greyhound US specific used in the early coaches and that is the cold air/warm air? duct input behind the driver when at the terminal. The other factor would be the amount of rust or lack thereof.

And any fleets that interlined with Greyhound may have had the In-Station HVAC duct access optioned.
My coach is so equipped.
Funny how such a progressive idea as in-station HVAC connections were first tried in the 70's and didn't catch on, yet we're heading that way again due to environemntal and fuel use concerns over idling.
You can still see the mounting rods in the ceiling of the Buffalo NY bus terminal for the HVAC units.
happy coaching!

Hi Harold,
Sorry for the late post. I found MC9 Unit Number 35068 with Serial Number 15006 was delivered to T. R. Young Inc. of Asheville, North Carolina in June 1980...no fleet number.
Hope this helps - Steve |
