BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 #7715 is seen in these direct links before it ended up suffering an engine compartment fire. About a month or two ago, I spotted the back end of a red livery D40LF at the CPS lot off of 64th Ave. N.E. and had noticed 7715 was no longer on the south fence at Spring Gardens. So yesterday myself and another friend decided to walk up closer to it to confirm it was in fact 7715 and sure enough it is. But more recently, #7567 has also shown up at the CPS lot. In this image with 7567 and 7715 taken yesterday, you can see the former Westjet Thomas SLF as well as a former Southland Transportation Thomas School Bus. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how CT doesn't cover up the lettering/fleet numbers! EDIT: On 7715 they didn't even remove the sign on the front of the unit! Also a little offtopic here, but I believe the old Southland unit is #225. https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/File:Southland_Transportation_225.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
