Your host and photographer behind the wheel. July 2000.

During the summer of 2000, I attended an Antique Transportation Exposition at the Illinois Railway Museum located in Union Illinois USA.
Several visiting parties attended with antique vechicles ranging from -World War 2 U.S Army Jeeps -antique cars -trucks -and buses.

A heavy thunderstorm was approaching around the time that the exhibitors were leaving the museum property. Before the lightning and hail arrived at the museum, I had this photograph of Myself taken by one of the exhibitors. This is a 1975 GMC new look, or "Fishbowl" bus. This bus had operated in the large rural town of De Kalb Illinois USA, out in the cornfields. This vechicle is painted in the colors of the Northern Illinois University "Huskie's" football team. The common carrier is also called "De Kalb Huskie Bus Lines." This is an exampler of a city transit bus operating in local service in a small agricultural city. This bus was recently retired from regulair service at the time of the photograph.
