Bracamonte 124 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Car 09 22 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #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 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petabread 36 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2009 I saw a Fresh Pond hybrid and a QV RTS being towed today. These things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven 3,054 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse 2,690 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #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]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen 4 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 23, 2009 not cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
via White Plains Road 189 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous85 13 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #11 Posted October 23, 2009 I've seen D60HFs being towed, it looks dangerous because they're so long and bend in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse 2,690 Posted October 23, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven 3,054 Posted October 24, 2009 Share #13 Posted October 24, 2009 Some have them on the front. For those like the RTS or the MCI, they are on the undercarriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 11 Posted October 24, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
