trolley bus production lasted from 1946 until 1959; in total, 1,624 vehicles were produced, all at the company's indianapolis factory. the last of san francisco's 260 mh trolley buses were retired in 1976 and philadelphia's last units in 1981. some mh trolley buses withdrawn from service in the united states were sold secondhand to mexico city's "servicio de transportes eléctricos" (ste) between the late 1960s and late 1970s and continued in service for many more years on that city's trolley bus network. although the last marmon-herrington trolley buses in original form were retired by ste in 1988, many underwent a rebuilding of their bodies in the 1980s by the mexican company "moyada" and continued working; the last five of these moyada-remodeled marmon-herrington trolley buses of ste survived in service until 2002. by the late 1950s the market for new trolley buses in north america had dried up, as some trolley bus systems were being abandoned while others had re-equipped with new mh vehicles. the company's very last orders for transit vehicles were also its only export orders for trolley buses, to recife and belo horizonte in brazil, comprising 65 and 50 tc49s, respectively, delivered in 1958–59. recife overhauled some of its tc49s in the 1980s, and several remained in service until 2001.
