Bus 2. (the bus in a depot stall) This is an MCI Courier 96 4 cyl. diesel with a 4 speed synchromesh transmission. This 41 seater was built in the mid-1950's and was in service with Vancouver Island Coach Lines until the early 1970's. This picture was taken at their Campbell River, BC Depot in 1969.
Bus 3. (The bus with the shrubbery in the background) This is a Flyer Industries bus that Vancouver Island Coach Lines used on their logging camp runs from Campbell River to Port Hardy. This was a 24 seat bus with the remainder of the passenger section walled off and used for express. (We would often carry 200 pieces of express on trips north.) The leaf spring suspension was ideal for the 8 hours of logging roads we drove to get up to Port Hardy. The bus has a V8 Diesel with a 5 speed synchromesh transmission. This picture was taken in 1969.
