ex Bee Line Orion V in Jamaica Depot?

[R44 CNG 473]

I passed by the depot about an hour ago and saw at least two ex Bee Line buses parked in the front of the lot on Merrick Blvd...Is there some kind of maintenance going on here?

Isn't Bailey kinda small?

Oh that would be neat if Jamaica starts using Orion Vs.

Using each other for diesel I see

Not sure it looks big enough for ~100 buses

Yes it would be.

My guess would be storage. I doubt JAM is going to use them plus they don't have any Orion V parts....

Most likely storage. Sometimes i see a few College Point buses parked at Casey Stengel.

It would be cool to see some Orion Vs running the SE routes.

Queens Village had Orion V's s decade ago

[Chargerdodge9 51]

Queens Village lost all their Orion Vs around 2005.

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.

[Chargerdodge9 51]

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).

The Last Orion V in Queens Village was 256 back in February 2008...

 

 

It was transferred to Casey Stengel, then sent to live out the rest of it's life at JFK till it died in 2010

[Guest MTA Bus]

Wow, QV had Orion Vs. Weird

[Chargerdodge9 51]

Jackie Gleason also used to have Non-CNG Orion Vs as well until the 1998-2000 New Flyer C40LFs came in.

I seen Orion V's on the Q5,Q17,Q27,Q30,Q46,Q75,Q83,Q85,Q88 all in regular service.

[QM1to6Ave 1,686]

I remember those Orion V diesels on the Q46 in the summer a bunch of years back

LGA just got 2 more bees #s later.

[GojiMet86 4,694]

Could it be the 130s or 140s they gave up a few months ago?

[Far Rock Depot 1,289]

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!

Stengel does some of those routes for school trippers

[T J Trainman 594]

The 2 Bees are now 5 bees at LGA, 139, 141, 144, 157, and 163.

So i guess LGA is getting Baisley Park's bees in exchange for their OG Hybrids?
