King County Metro Transit 4100-4199

King County Metro Transit 4100-4199 are Gillig C28D102N4 electric trolleybuses buses built between 2001 and 2002.

These coaches were delivered from Gillig as "gliders," meaning that while they looked complete from the outside, internally they lacked a propulsion system. Metro removed the motors, propulsion controls and other components from the AM General trolleys, sent them Alstom to be refurbished and then reinstalled them into the new Gillig bodies along with new fiberglass trolley poles from Vossloh Kiepe.^[1] The repurposing of the propulsion system from the AM General trolleybuses saved $200,000 per coach, totaling $20 million for the entire fleet.^[2]

The unique fleet of coaches with recycled 1979 propulsion systems saved money for Metro in the early 2000s, but after a decade on the streets of Seattle the buses became less reliable and more expensive to maintain,^[3] leading Metro to retire them earlier than trolleybuses previously purchased by the agency.
