Description
The 1930s-era red buses that operate in Glacier National Park are a rare and historic sight. With only 33 White Motor Company Model 706 buses remaining, they are one of the oldest fleets still in continuous service worldwide. In recent years, these iconic vehicles have faced threats to their continued operation, but thanks to efforts by preservationists, they continue to run. Author Ray Djuff delves into the history of the red buses, exploring their origins, operations, and the challenges they faced as they were considered for removal from service. This book offers a fascinating look at these unique vehicles and the people who have worked to preserve them. By examining the story of the Glacier National Park's historic buses, Djuff sheds light on the importance of preserving our transportation heritage.
