The Greyhound Group: September 2012

This is an old Greyhound unit. NJT bought batch when they were in tight need of equpment fast and Greyhound was unloading used MC7 as fast as they could get rid of them. I believe it was around the lat 70s r early 80s. Ron Sussman
One thing not noted in the great rundown of the NJT MC7 history is that someone said it had a 592? fleet number.Â The first MC7s in the Greyhound fleet were 5900 series Southern GL, 3000 series Eastern (No Southern Eastern merger as yet) and 7000 Central.
> This particular bus as I see it was in the second batch to go to Southern as the first group had the skirt covering the tag wheel.Â When the skirt was lifted up for tire maintenance there was a key hole shaped hole in the body panel above the wheel well that a cable attached to the skirt panel hooked into and this bus does not have it, which tells me it came thru the way you see it.Â Also on the first batch that had the skirt when it was finally removed as a bad idea the trim around the dual rear wheels was removed on both wheels, this unit still has trim.Â Just another bit of mean nothing trivia.Â Ron Sussman
