East New York Posted February 12, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 12, 2008 Question: This bus used to be 8058. Does anyone know why a few of the 8000 series buses don't have high mount exhaust pipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOB2RTO Posted February 12, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 12, 2008 They had not had a new engine (DD50), put into them. The only ones I knew of that were not repowered were the Zerega Training Buses. IIRC, they have 2 like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted February 12, 2008 Share #3 Posted February 12, 2008 I sure missed those nonrepowered buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more unrepowered RTS buses are still at NYCT. All the MTA Bus unrepowered RTS buses are gone however there are still a few Classics running.

East New York Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted February 13, 2008 in that first photo, the signs on the bus looks weird Yeah, thats because it's a fake paper sign used for the Incredible Hulk movie. Notice how it reads "M20 Lincoln CTR to Battery Park" and the rear reads "M103" in orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
