#77 – Glacier National Park Transportation

Initial Service

This Flxible Visicoach was one of four (#48-51) delivered new in 1955 to the Utah Parks Company as #50.

Service History

Initially, #50 was one of 22 small Flxibles that ran for the Union Pacific Railroad subsidiary. They operated in Bryce and Zion National Parks and to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Later, #50 was acquired by the Glacier Transport Company where it ran as their #77 along with two other Flxibles (#75-76) until 1987.

Pathway to PBM 

The bus was donated to the PBM in 1996 along with the five other buses of Richard Twining’s historical bus collection.

What People Love 

Its picture windows and roof lights made it well suited for traversing the scenic, winding roads of the parks and wilderness areas. Almost every major National Park operated them.
