Description

1963 TDH-5301 #472- Ex Edmonton Transit #472 was originally leased by Strathcona County Transit in 1991, and later purchased in 1994. It was possibly retired when the two TDH-5305s arrived. It rarely, if ever ran into Edmonton. After retirement it ended up at Busex, along with #478, but by the time I found #472, all that remained of 478 was a few parts!
