Acadian Lines 118 at Truro, Nova Scotia - 7 Sep 1992 (Ref 173-29)

Monday 7 September 1992 (approx 0955) - Today I travelled on the Acadian Lines 0800 ‘all stops’ service from Halifax to Sydney (Nova Scotia) trip 53 – a journey of approx. 270 miles taking 7 hours 50 minutes. The coach was number 118, a 1989 MCI MC9 Crusader Special, seen on the loading ramp at the company’s terminal at 280 Willow Street in Truro. During the time that the company was owned by three enterprising businessmen (brothers Gordon and George Thompson and Ralph Pepper) the company established a number of well-appointed terminals on its network offering its passengers comfortable waiting and refreshment facilities. The Co-op Feeds grain silo is a prominent agricultural landmark of the town. (Ref 173-29)
