Yankee Trails World Travel has added two new MCI J4500 coaches fitted with a Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine and an Allison B500R automatic transmission to its 40-coach, all-MCI fleet. The Rensselaer, N.Y.-based tour and charter company began 50 years ago with two coaches and a shuttle service between Albany and Vermont. In 1999, Yankee Trails created a full-service travel agency, becoming Yankee Trails World Travel, and now offers coach, air and cruise accommodations. The new coaches will help expand the company's "Cruise Express" shuttle services to the piers in New York City and New Jersey.
