Before the takeover by New York Trailways in 1994, there was a Rochester-based Trailways franchise called Empire Trailways. Their coaches were typically clad in the classic Trailways livery until 1988 when they purchased their first 102C3 (ET-8832) where that coach was solid red with a white-silver-grey "Z" stripe down the sides and front and rear of the coach. With the exception of ET-8933, all post-1988 coaches were clad in the new livery. Anyone else, especially Upstate New York bus lovers remember Empire Trailways??

Empire Trailways? Yes, long time Member, Jim Mancuso documented much concerning Upstate carriers.
Sadly, he passed away, though his messages should still remain in listings in various topical areas here...
