The lettering was stickers too when it was in Weymouth.... "Gold Leaf Stickers"
When you are self insured (like most cities in the commonwealth are) it is done on the cheap....unless the other peoples insurance is paying... If L 25 was hit by some one else and they were at fault...I bet it would have a new cab.... If you notice in the photo I posted of it down greenwood... you can see Quincy L 5 in the background... that had a "close encounter" with a security gate at state street.( the type like at the U N, Airports...) Lifted the hole truck up in the air.... The guard in the shack "let the button go"... State Street is paying for the truck to be fixed... If the city was paying it would still be sitting down the ship yard....
