Imagine our surprise when we quite accidentally stumbled upon this shining gem which, judging by the Phillies Blunt tshirt and amount of hair, dates from sometime in the Spring or Summer 1993. Not long afterward, the guy in the photo managed to exploit a metallurgical flaw and break Ludwig's unbreakable Type IV crankshaft in half. This is the earliest picture of Ludwig of which we are aware.February 4, 2009
Ancient History
Other bus bloggers know a lot more about the history of their beasts than we do about Ludwig. From what we've gleaned from his M-codes, Ludwig was built on 24 October 1973 and was shipped to the States soon after, landing at San Francisco. Between then and 1991, we don't know much of anything about his adventures, other than that he spent time in the Omaha area, and then briefly in Norfolk Nebraska.

That is awesome! Where did you find the photo?
I was being coy in implying that there is any mystery as to who the guy in the photo was. It is Ludwig's previous owner 02McDonald, in what is likely to be his one and only photo appearance on this blog. The photo cropped up on facebook.
Alright,
