4200-4258 Trolley Coach Conversions
Home ] Up ]

In Late 2001, King County Metro started to experiment with Converting a Dual-mode Breda into a straight trolleybus. Coach 5101 was the first bus to receive this treatment. This was accomplished by removing the engine and transmission, and rewiring the propulsion system to only run in electric mode, amongst some other modifications to the brakes and other systems. In 2003, this coach was renumbered to 4200 and received an updated interior and Luminator Horizon destination signs at the same time. All 59 coaches have since been converted and can be found on the 7, 43, 44, and 49 routes.
