TPS #536 Exterior

This is Toledo City Schools bus #536 which was a 1980's Ford B700 with a Thomas body. This bus, along with four others, was bought used in 2000 from a Columbus area school district. One of the other buses (537) was a Ford/Thomas identical to 536 and the other three were mid 80's S-Series International's with Thomas bodies. The units served in Toledo until around 2010 before final retirement. This particular bus has a Detroit Diesel 8.2L "Fuel Pincher" engine, an Allison AT545 automatic transmission, and hydraulic brakes.
