Several old buses are stored behind the St. Laurent Garage, shown in photos from April 2001 (upper), and June 1st, 2005 (lower). The bus on the left is Quebec City 6120, a 1961 GM TDH-5301 owned by the Canadian Transit Heritage Foundation. The bus on the right is a 1937 Yellow Coach 743, which once operated as Gray Coach 692, was acquired by OC Transpo in 1984 and sold to a private owner in 2008. These buses were still there in June 2006 as shown in this photo, but by December 2006, 6120 had been moved to another location. (No enlarged photo available for upper thumbnail) |

9751 is a 1997 El Dorado E-Z Rider, a small, 30’ low-floor bus seen at the retirement lot behind the St. Laurent Garage in May 2002. This bus was used for a few years on low-volume routes such as the 123 in Gloucester or the 147 in the former Uplands air base. This bus was listed for sale a short time after this photo was taken.
