Notes
  1. Was a 36 passenger shell, built as a 24 passenger cargo combo for Yellowhead Coach Lines.
  2. Acquired by British Columbia Coach Lines when Pioneer Coach Lines [Merritt BC] was purchased.
  3. Parts used to build number 190 (built new from old Courier parts).
  4. Built new by Western Flyer using many mechanical components (engine, transmission, seats, etc.) from number 90 and a Courier 95 which was involved an accident on the Alaska Highway. Until the spring of 1967 it was equipped with MCI Rexalaire seats.
  5. Rebuilt with rest room, silversides and a GM 6V71 diesel engine.
  6. Rebuilt by MCI before entering service.
  7. A Bruck is a combined passenger and express vehicle. Brucks were rebuilt by WFC at their Winnipeg plant from 1956 to 1964. Some were converted from buses in service at the time, while many others were old standard types purchased specifically for conversion. In the late 1950s and early 1960s a number of used Courier 100s and 200s were purchased from Western Canada Greyhound Lines (later Greyhound Lines of Canada), mostly for use on local lines. Some however, were unsuccessfully dieselized by Cummins with an eye to some long-haul usage.
