Maryland skoolie seen on the Eastern Shore
August 23, 2020 while driving back to Virginia from Kentucky, I saw a skoolie on US 50 eastbound coming in to Salisbury, MD, and followed it around the bypass until it took the exit to go towards Ocean City, MD. It took the exit, I kept going towards home.
It was a Thomas rear engine, painted black with a white roof, LED signal lights, screen over some of the windows. I saw the silhouette of a kid through a window as it passed me at one point. It was hitting 73MPH on the bypass for a short time.
I did notice that it had something blowing out under the engine in a spray, approximately center to just right of center. It also had some oil spots on the engine compartment door. I think it's worth checking everything and tightening up whichever oil/hydraulic/fluid thing is leaking.
It looks like a nicely done conversion from the little I could see. It was nice seeing one of these things hit 70+.
This bus had a Maryland tag, but I didn't get the number (nor would I share it in a public forum if I had), as I was too busy driving a stinking van around.
If this is your bus, drop me a line. I'd love to compare conversion notes. I live about an hour and 15 minutes south of Salisbury.
