If it came from St Cloud, MN, that would be about 472 miles. Also MCI has a sales facility in Des Plaines . ... The answer appears to be Crookston, MN, which is approximately 700 miles from Chicago, depending on where in the area the bus showed up. What got me there was a search for "motor coach industries assembly plant," which lead to this article that NFI/MCI is closing the MCI plant in Pembina, North Dakota, but has a plant in Crookston. Apparently, being that near to Winnipeg was not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various semi-reliable sites indicate that it became TMC (remember the CTA 4400s), then was sold to NovaBus, which dumped it, and then was purchased by Millennium Transit, which turned out to be a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
