The Reynolds-Alberta Museum is located 2 km west of Wetaskiwin on Hwy 13, just 40 minutes south of Edmonton. Here are some images of the buses at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum taken back in June 2009. Enjoy! More images will be added to this gallery as time permits, so check back when you have the time.

I really need to get out there and check things out.... I haven't been out there in years.

To see the buses, you may need to check with them ahead of time and book a time to see them as they are in an area that is not normally accessed by the public, so you may need to have an escorted tour to see them.

That'd explain why I didn't see them the last time I was there... Thanks!

Maybe I'll have to see if some of the rest of gang wants to make a field trip or something....

A well known trolley driver contacted the Reynold's in order to see about arranging a view of these buses.

Apparently the person at the Reynold's (someone high up I believe) didn't seem to keen on entertaining his request.

Calgary Transit was taking better care of these buses than the Reynold's appears to be.

I saw this neat old bus there years ago. No idea what it is.

It's a Yellow Coach model 743

I'm actually thinking it might not be, it could a very early Fort Gary aka MCI, it looks like the type Canadian Greyhound was using on the newly built Alaska highway during WWII
