While searching for other bus photos, I was VERY fortunate indeed to come across this rare portrait of an O&B "Buffalo" in the yard in back of the Fairview garage, on Anderson Avenue (Your's Truly has lived just north of this garage [about a 15-minute walk] for nearly 50 years!)
See:

(the photo caption here is incorrect; this is the former O&B garage in Fairview (Anderson Avenue), NOT the Maplewood garage.
Note the rows of handsome Old Looks, patiently awaiting their next runs into the "Port-of-Authority".
The "Buffalo" is displaying the sign for the "7" (last stop, Palisades Amusement Park, which closed after the 1971 season)
The site of the famed old park (now totally obliterated by towering condo units) is just a few blocks east of me!
Man, does this photo really bring back some wonderful old memories!

Nice photo! I'd be happy to ride the featured bus or any of those in the background. Real buses! |
