“Steering Committee” Print

Description

Narrative:

Steering Committee is my salute to the Red Buses. They have been part of the scene
on the Going-to-the-Sun Highway ever since the first days of elegant motor-touring
and grand lodges in Glacier Park.

Early in the 20th Century, comfortable motorcars, wilderness tourists, and wild
animals all met for the first time in the mountain west.
In a process that is still going on today, there were some issues of Who’s-In-Charge to be worked out. When grappling with new technology, optimism and
enthusiasm often combine to make for some scary downhill situations.

Hats off to the folks at Ford, the Glacier Fund, and all the others who worked so long
and so well to put the handsome old “Jammers” back on the road. The first to be
done was old number 98, shown here shortly before going out of service at the
“turn of the Century”…… THEY ARE BACK!
