EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
2001 Overland ELF 125 / Ford E-450 diesel #s 72-79

In 2001, ETS took delivery of their last order of ELF buses (not counting the ex-Calgary units acquired in 2005). These units were very similar to those of the previous orders, with one major exception; they featured updated interior styling (blue fabric seating in place of the previous grey, as well as yellow doors). #76 was involved in a major front end collision in mid 2007, and ended up receiving the entire front end off of ex-CT 8509. Some of these units were retired in the years leading up to 2011, with a handful of them running in service until the final retirement of the ELFs in mid 2013. #74 has been retained for the ETS Historical Collection.
