This front route mylar is off retired Ford / Goshen Coach #22. It is dated
July 6, 1987 and has 38 exposures. It is unique in that unlike the full
size buses which have two piece signs, this is just a one piece sign,
and as such, shows what numbers correspond to what destinations.
Its sign tag is shown below.
