You mean this Otto Kuhler styled 1936 White 684?

I am not sure where the engine was as the large ice compartment for the A/C
was at the rear where a rear engined bus' engine would be.

This is a B&O Photo.

The 1949 to 1951 replacements were White 1136's. B&O's NY City motor coaches
ran to the end of service in 1958, as far as I know.

I was talking about the shorty busses used by and paintd for B&O, in the 1930s. I would go along with Whites, which would put the engine under the floor -- but, then, where did the ice go?
