Unless you're looking for a CCT paratransit vehicle with that number, the only way you can find 6249 is on a time machine. That bus was 1973 Flxible new-look, those suckers are long-gone, like 20 years ago gone.

The "Christmas Bus" came from either Comly or Midvale. The last "Christmas Bus" I recall riding was 5061 on the 28 on Monday December 11, 2000.

Midvale also had one. It was a NABI. I forget which bus it was.

Elmwood had two of the cars decorated for appearance sake during the weeks leading up to Christmas.

I haven't seen anything of this nature since 2000.

Victory had a bus that was once decorated for Halloween: 5315 was the bus.

Trolley operator G Mason did that for several years while he was still at Elmwood. The car he used was 9032 since it was modified with several power inverters for the lights. He hasn't done it for the past few. Don't know why.

Took a little trip today on my first of three vacation days. Originally I was supposed to go to Delaware for some DART riding today but my friend cancelled out. So, I took a trip to King of Prussia. Rode 5854 on the 125 4700 block. The driver had to do a reverse move to get around the loop at Wissahickon "over glorified bus loop" Transportation Center. I never had this happen to me with the old arrangement now that the 38 is laying over on the other side of the building. The 38 in question was 5426 with a Scion full wrap. After hanging around bothering a friend who works at the mall and eating lunch, I went out to ride the 92 to West Chester then take the 104 to 69th Street. While waiting at the Plaza Transit Center, the 5 Devils pulled up on the 99 / 6151.

Obviously this bus is dying to be overhauled. The paint obviously needs to be redone. Next thing to pull up out of Frontier was the 1:50 PM 92 Westlakes pull out for the 124. It was 5663 6022 block. This bus has an odd reverse alarm since it backed up while parking in front of 5883 on the 123 / 4691.

I figured I would end up getting stuck with a damn Champion on the 92 to West Chester express to Chesterbrook Blvd. Well sure enough 2084 showed up on 6023 block. The ride on that thing was to say the least uncomfortable. I felt every damn bump in the roads. Well I got off at High and Market Streets in West Chester to catch the 104. Well what should be sitting on the side of Market Street laying over on the 314?

Yes, a Ford Cutaway on the 314. 2060 I thought was gone. I guess not. :o Well I waited a few minutes at Market and Walnut Streets for the 104. It was 5272 on 227 block. It was an express which managed to arrive at 69th Street with ample time for me to catch the 4:15 PM 107 (4543 4345) home. All in all not bad for a miserable day. I will be doing the Delaware thing tomorrow instead.

5244 was spotted on the 57. I didn't know if it was from Midvale or Southern.
