Back in the early 70s Greyhound experimented with four MC7s there were
turbo-driven.

The start of the turbo did not always go according to the book and it shows one that shoots flames out the exhaust about 20 feet in the air on a bad start up.

Well, here's what it says on the front page:"Our Trailways Bus Group has over 1,500 years of Bus Experience.

Group is for Trailways Bus Drivers, employees, family members and anyone involved with Trailways in any way past or present, and for Greyhound employees, if you got your start with Trailways, this may be where all your Trailways friends are.

We are affiliated with four web sites, Trailways-Friends, Trailways-Memorial Page, Bus Stories and Trailways History page.

If you are a fan of Trailways,"Come on board," and GO BIG RED!!"

HTH, Mitch
