| Were the Orion hybrids purchased with federal funding? If so, that might complicate such a sale.
If you can translate this, it would appear they are New York State funded, not federal: 100% SDF/N ... |

| The six T8H5307A's retained their QT Express numbers when they were sold to Queens Surface.
The Queens Surface 1360's were ex-New York Bus Service 1361-1366 and 1374-1379 (T6H5308A's). Bob K |

| About a 100 years ago (it feels like it, at least), a Conestoga Transportation Company article was published in Motor Coach Age (August 1973 issue). I doubt it's still available from MBS.
