T J Trainman Posted November 12, 2012 Share #6 Posted November 12, 2012 My guess would be storage. I doubt JAM is going to use them plus they don't have any Orion V parts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-CT1660- Posted November 12, 2012 Share #7 Posted November 12, 2012 Most likely storage. Sometimes i see a few College Point buses parked at Casey Stengel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted November 12, 2012 Share #11 Posted November 12, 2012 Queens Village lost all their Orion Vs around 2005. No even further than that around the late 1990's is when they lost all their Orion V's but I seen sometimes a Orion V from CS on the Q17 and Q85 for regular service. This was between 2002-2006. I guess it was because of overhauls of the RTS's and JA doing subway shuttles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerdodge9 Posted November 12, 2012 Share #12 Posted November 12, 2012 Actually, I remember seeing photos on subchat a few years ago of Orion Vs in Queens Village around the 2004-2005 timeframe (one even burned down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Rock Depot Posted November 13, 2012 Share #21 Posted November 13, 2012 I'm laughing at those last few exchanges cause ya'll are making me feel old! Here you all are finding out about Orion Vs in certain depots like it was new and unheard of while I'm here at my mom's remembering that I STILL have a photo of Orion V #93001.....the first!
