this is where bus 142 was left behind, as the others made there way down the trail. here's a quote from Mickey Hines, the person who shared these pics from there own film footage....
- Mickey Hines from the facebook group "Magic Bus 142"My father worked for Yutan Cons and the buses were part of the construction company following the Stampede Trail. We went in at Lignite. The camp was 2 orange buses for the men and the two green ones for my family. Mine was the only family in camp because we lived in Colorado and the rest of the men lived in Fairbanks. The buses, 152 and another green and white one, from the pics were both customized by my Dad. Other may have replaced things but it was Jess Mariner who put the original beds and stove in it. There was a double bed in the back - it looks like the original springs and there were twin bunk beds in 1961 when these home movies were shot. It was left where it is today because the axle broke when they were taking the camp back out. In this capture (from my old home movies) they are on their way back out to the railroad.
