BusFan TV: Vintage New York City Bus Fleet Rolls Down Beach Channel Drive in Rockaway Park

Filmed on August 21, 2010 in the Rockaway Park section of Queens. The New York Transit Museum, on this day, ran a special fan trip with a vintage train (1930's R1-R9 subway cars) and vintage buses between Rockaway Park and Jacob Riis Park. Here we see the vintage bus fleet leaving, heading towards the East New York Depot in Brooklyn (where they were stored until about a week or two later.) The convoy is as follows: 1948 GM Old Look #2969, 1958 GM Old Look #9098, 1961 GM New Look #1059, 1980 Grumman ADB #236, 1966 GM New Look 8466, 1957 GM Old Look #7144, & 1956 GM Old Look #3100.
