New Propane-Fueled Minotour® Buses in Production at Thomas Built Buses
First School Bus Manufacturer to Achieve Zero-Waste to-Landfill Now Offers Propane Autogas Option
High Point, N.C. – Thomas Built Buses expanded its alternative-powered product offerings with the addition of a new propane-fueled Minotour® bus. Thomas Built’s green vehicle lineup also includes the Saf-T-Liner® C2e Hybrid and HDX compressed natural gas (CNG) models. A propane-fueled offering of the innovative Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 bus is in development and expected to be available in 2013.
“At Thomas Built, we want to produce a full line of buses that exceed current environmental standards. As the demand grows for sustainable transportation solutions, Thomas Built Buses is at the forefront of offering a robust line of alternative-powered vehicles including compressed natural gas, diesel-electric hybrid and propane technology,” said Kelley Platt, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. Thomas Built was the first and remains the only school bus manufacturer that is completely Zero-Waste-to-Landfill, building every bus with a high level of environmental standards.
The Thomas Built Minotour is a Type A bus, seating up to 30 passengers, making it an excellent choice for schools, childcare centers and churches. The propane option is available on the 159″ dual rear wheel (DRW) model with a GVWR of 14,200 lbs. Powered by a GM 6.0 liter liquid propane gas (LPG) engine with fully-integrated CleanFUEL USA liquid propane injection system, the 3-tank set-up has an estimated 315-mile range and a gas gallon equivalent of 35 gallons.
The propane-fueled Minotour is California Air Research Board-certified and exceeds EPA 2010 emissions requirements. Less expensive than a gallon of gasoline or diesel on a btu basis, propane is a green, clean-burning alternative fuel, with 20 percent less NOx and 12 percent less CO2 than gasoline. More than 90 percent of the propane used in the U.S. is domestically produced. Setting up propane fueling infrastructure is an easy and relatively low-cost proposition.
Thomas Built Buses has already delivered its first two propane-fueled Minotour buses to Student Transportation of America.

Looking down the long hood of a C-628 must have been like looking down the boiler of a steam engine. (I don't think I ever saw a CNW C-628 running long end first, although I did on Monon which purchased the model with dual controls)

Description :
HAVE TIME
"Dicono che c'è un tempo per seminare
e uno che hai voglia ad aspettare
un tempo sognato che viene di notte
e un altro di giorno teso
come un lino a sventolare.
C'è un tempo negato e uno segreto
un tempo distante che è roba degli altri
un momento che era meglio partire
e quella volta che noi due era meglio parlarci.
C'è un tempo perfetto per fare silenzio
guardare il passaggio del sole d'estate
e saper raccontare ai nostri bambini quando
è l'ora muta delle fate.
C'è un giorno che ci siamo perduti
come smarrire un anello in un prato
e c'era tutto un programma futuro
che non abbiamo avverato.
È tempo che sfugge, niente paura
che prima o poi ci riprende
perché c'è tempo, c'è tempo c'è tempo, c'è tempo
per questo mare infinito di gente.
Dio, è proprio tanto che piove
e da un anno non torno
da mezz'ora sono qui arruffato
dentro una sala d'aspetto
di un tram che non viene
non essere gelosa di me
della mia vita
non essere gelosa di me
non essere mai gelosa di me.
C'è un tempo d'aspetto come dicevo
qualcosa di buono che verrà
un attimo fotografato, dipinto, segnato
e quello dopo perduto via
senza nemmeno voler sapere come sarebbe stata
la sua fotografia.
C'è un tempo bellissimo tutto sudato
una stagione ribelle
l'istante in cui scocca l'unica freccia
che arriva alla volta celeste
e trafigge le stelle
è un giorno che tutta la gente
si tende la mano
è il medesimo istante per tutti
che sarà benedetto, io credo
da molto lontano
è il tempo che è finalmente
o quando ci si capisce
un tempo in cui mi vedrai
accanto a te nuovamente
mano alla mano
che buffi saremo
se non ci avranno nemmeno
avvisato.
Dicono che c'è un tempo per seminare
e uno più lungo per aspettare
io dico che c'era un tempo sognato
che bisognava sognare."

C&EI GP-35 257 (29650 9/64) 1966 leads nb freight @ Terre Haute IN on a hazy early spring day in 1966.
While I am not normally a fan of black and white paint jobs (sorry PC or N&W fans), C&EI was an exception. Those safety stripes sure were attention-getting and the engine numbers could be read by the most myopic railfan-or towerman.

In Dublin’s fair city, where girls are so pretty…
…I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she pushed her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
