Here are a few Public Service unusual buses...

a) Ford Transit "mobile Shop" for conversion to natural gas

b) #D900, a GM model TDH-4509, with poles up.

c) #D900 without poles and a new paint scheme

Never knew Public Service had any of those Yellow 719's (or is it a 743?)... Shocked

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

Just came across these AWESOME photos!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

As a lifelong PS man, you KNOW I went nuts for these pictures!!!!! Very Happy

ASV demo D900 was to be the first of a "new generation" of ASV's for use in the City Subway, replacing the streetcars.

PS had pulled the plug on the ASV's in 1948.

Had the City of Newark paid for the paving of the Subway, PS would have purchased a fleet of these GM-built ASV's.

However, when the City told PS that THEY would have to foot the bill for the paving over of the City Subway, PS nixed the idea and purchased second hand TCRT PCC's instead.

D900 never carried revenue passenger under wire; tests were conducted under new overhead erected at the Bell St. loop in Montclair.

After the tests were completed, D900 went to PS's Plank Road shops, and converted into a straight diesel.

By 1960, the bus had been transferred to the HUDSON Division, and finished its service life operating out of the GREENVILLE garage in Jersey City.....

Note the ACF-BRILL C-44 to the left of the YELLOW 719/743.

This bus was part of a group of 17 purchased in late 1947 by PS.

Being "oddballs" in an otherwise all-GM fleet, these BRILLS were later sold to DE CAMP (DE CAMP also operated their own C-44's, some purchased new, and others "inherited" when they took over ATLANTIC TRANSPORTATION COMPANY [GARDEN STATE LINES) in 1956)........

Here's our old friend D900 again, sporting the new paint scheme introduced in the early 1960s; here, the bus is signed "CHARTER" (perhaps a fantrip?) and is seen running in Grant City, Staten Island (and check out that cool 1959/1960 BUICK parked on the left!) Wink
