Maybe it's TMCI. I remember that when I went to Louisbourg, the Classic I rode had emergency exit stickers in English and Spanish.

Ah the ex-Dupont Demo. I believe this unit was once painted in a purple scheme. It was a spare at the time when we visited the Fortress and they only had the two V's running. This unit could also possibly be an MCI, I have a feeling it could be an ex-UTA unit.

Guys, that bus is a GM Classic and is definately an Ex-UTA Classic from Salt Lake City. all the specs on it point to a GM Classic from about 1983, 1984 from Salt Lake. It even still has GM Classic doors on it.

Thanks for the confirmation Peter. The front stairwell is what led me to believe that the unit was an ex-UTA unit.

The V`s were #`s 191 and 192.
I know they had an Orion 1 that was leased.

My wife and I visited Fortress Louisbourg on August 11 and rode MCI 8305 and Orion V 191 and spotted Orion V 192.

Both 8305 and 191 had good rides and appeared in excellent condition. Only signage I noticed was in English and French related to the Fortress. (191 is very barren inside and doesn't even display the fleet number.)

They are excellent shape because they are only use for summer.

That was the bus I was on during my trips to the Fortress of Louisbourg...I haven't been back there since 1990.
