Cory's Dayton Trolleybus Photos

The first seven photos show 110 in the garage during its restoration process and test drive. BBC 110 had been in storage since the early 2000s, so this was the first time it had been seen in many years.


The next round of photos show BBC 110 on a fan trip that was organized by Greater Dayton RTA and the North American Bus Association. This trip was a major event for GDRTA, as it marked the beginning of their historical fleet program.


The last three photos show BBC 110 during a tour of the GDRTA garage in October 2012 & August 2019. The bus is still in great condition and is a popular attraction for transit enthusiasts. BBC 110 has been on several fan trips since 2010 and continues to ride smoothly. It is a valuable piece of local history.
