MattTrain Posted August 24, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 24, 2011 I'm assuming you're talking about this bus. I took this shot around two years ago. NYCT Orion 5 CNG on the B68 numbered 600. I don't think any of these were preserved at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted August 24, 2011 Share #8 Posted August 24, 2011 When I went to ECH the other day I saw one of these start up, then started hauling ass out of the depot. It went flying down out of the entrance, and went straight down, no turns :confused:. I thought those buses were dead. 317 was supposed to be saved, but something happened and the bus met its unfortunate fate 588 from last summer at College Point: Another way the throws away money, re-painting their buses just before they die. (Why do they have to look good dying?! :cry:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoSpectacular Posted August 24, 2011 Share #13 Posted August 24, 2011 Real shame about those buses, I remember them so well on the B63, which is why I'm always partial to catching a 98/99xx on the route today. Loved those blackback CNGs, IMO the best CNG fleet the city's had. It's mainly because those buses were built very much like the V diesels we have now, interior-wise and outside, but their takeoffs were horrible, they should have left their original engines in.
