END OF THE LINE

This page is in memory of RTS's that are no longer with us. This page was the hardest one for me to do, as even though I know that eventually the end comes, it's very hard to see good parts and sometimes even good buses go away.

May They Rest In Peace...

Our first stop is Nimco scrap yard in New Jersey. Nimco takes some of the parts off the buses for resale and scraps the rest.

 Lets see what they have...
