8590 making a surprise appearance

The bastardized Volvo 40 footer #8590 is back on SEPTA property now at Berridge shops to be repainted.  Once the work is done, it will be sent back to the bus museum in Hershey.  What’s most interesting with this bus is the fact the rear scheme of this bus now resembles a New Flyer.  The real kicker that is there are no taillights on the rear.  Perhaps the reason this bus was sent down to Berridge is because of their expertise with the Volvos though 1984-2000.
