Photocopy of a postcard, the photo for which was taken by R. R. Cooper. Miners arriving for "Ole's Shift," standing in front of the bus.
From Ted Beck:
The Red Cliff bus line was probably started away back, probably in the 1930s, by Mickey Walsh.

I don't think it was much of a success as it kept breaking down....

The Red Cliff bus parked in front of the bus garage on the right. The Standard filling station is at the end of the street (far left in the picture). Ralph Henderson and Dick Lucero were owners of the bus line at different times. The buses carried the miners from Red Ciff to the mine at Gilman. They smoked in the bus and the ceiling would be nicotine stained. Angela Beck washed the bus ceiling down at one point for Ralph Henderson.
