History

Served for the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad in the 1930's transporting miners and their supplies between McCarthy and Chitina. The duration of the drive between McCarthy and Chitina was four hours. In 1985 the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry restored this bus for operating in the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous Parade. Otherwise, it is out at the museum being displayed for visitors to see.
