holiday train always gets unwrapped at skokie shops and the cars remain out of service in the yard at skokie unless allstate will be their advertisement next year but the holiday bus is stored some where at south shops @YoungBusLover probably knows where they store it at SS

4374 has been the holiday bus for years now what makes you think it’s gonna come back to service? (example: the holiday train cars are always used as holiday train cars they never came back?

If it was a NF bus, it probably would've been months before it went back into service. I'm surprised they haven't fixed 8023/8229 yet tho

Those buses most likely aren't coming back. Legal hold is what they're currently on.

Yeah buses are like tanks. Mostly cars just hit the bumper. We had one get rear ended on a dan ryan exit ramp. Barely any damage, car was totaled. Where buses get into trouble is when they hit something big like a truck or structural support. We had a truck jackknife in front of a driver on the highway and our bus got totaled. Then you start worrying about your life because your accident is serious. They teach us to stay away from the trucks especially in bad weather.

8090 appears to barely have any damage
