FHTCQ's Quebec #7303 once stood a chance; if only a slim one, to be restored and added to our historical fleet.

There are some really upsetting photos in this area, and it really upset my stomache to see the bus in this condition...

What was once a clean bus, especially for its age has now been totally destroyed, even the seats were lifted out.

The seats that were removed were all piled in the back of the bus. Notice that at one time they were clean and in really good condition... Now they are all splattered with paint.
