Bracamonte 124 #1 Posted October 23, 2009 Near LGA depot a few hours ago, I saw a tow truck preparing to tow a Orion VII OG. Is LGA's Orion VII like falling into bad shape? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St Louis Car 09 21 #2 Posted October 23, 2009 Near LGA depot a few hours ago, I saw a tow truck preparing to tow a Orion VII OG. Is LGA's Orion VII like falling into bad shape?No not really;that particular bus may have ran out of gas.Caught a flat, or anything minor.Now if you see this happening more often, then I would panic.

Grand Concourse 2,690 #3 Posted October 23, 2009 Near LGA depot a few hours ago, I saw a tow truck preparing to tow a Orion VII OG. Is LGA's Orion VII like falling into bad shape? Not uncommon to see a bus towed, I saw a Far Rock bus [now at SC] towed a few years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petabread 36 #4 Posted October 23, 2009 I saw a Fresh Pond hybrid and a QV RTS being towed today. These things happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SevenEleven 2,316 #5 Posted October 23, 2009 Yeah it does. A JAM RTS broke down (or got into an accident, one or the other) and was towed earlier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Concourse 2,690 #7 Posted October 23, 2009 :sigh: It can be any bus, it just so happend to be a hybrid. Here's your precious D4500 being towed [pics from March 2008]: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

via White Plains Road 192 #9 Posted October 23, 2009 I got one similar to Phil's pic. Though I can't stand those OG's, but Phil is right any bus can break down! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infamous85 5 #11 Posted October 23, 2009 I've seen D60HFs being towed, it looks dangerous because they're so long and bend in the middle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grand Concourse 2,690 #12 Posted October 23, 2009 I thought that's why they had the small 'loops' at the front of the buses? So that way the tow truck doesn't have to lift them, but just drag them along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SevenEleven 2,316 #13 Posted October 24, 2009 Some have them on the front. For those like the RTS or the MCI, they are on the undercarriage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R32 3348 10 #14 Posted October 24, 2009 not cool Why not? Every single type of bus in the system has been towed before. Not just the ones you hate...as you'd like to think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
