From our cute photo department;
No!, it's not a bus pulling three elephants - it's three elephants pushing a bus that appears to be stuck in the snow in spite of its set of chains! (didn't most bus companies have a few pachyderms hanging around for just such occasions?).
The time is the 1940's and the place is Kansas City, Missouri where we see fleet # 1568 - a 1942 36 passenger Yellow Coach Model TG 3605 and one of 70 likenesses numbered 1518 to 1587 operating for the then Kansas City Public Service Company.
Of note is #1568's 'war time' all steel body in place of aluminum as evidenced by the double set of side swipe moldings between the wheel wells.
Maybe Yellow should have called this model a TGE 3605 (the 'E' standing for elephant in this case!).

This route was no doubt a major trunk line! Sorry, couldn't resist. |
