Turbo19 Posted December 26, 2012 #1 Posted December 26, 2012 Continuing from my set of photos, here's another Omnitrans pic from So. Cal, except this one is nearly 15 years older! This isn't my first transit photo (and certainly wasn't my last), but here is what I was able to find in my room. I might be able to find more old stuff, but I think most of my stuff was damaged in a flood in my garage some years back. Without further stalling, I present this Omnitrans Orion 5.501 CNG # 723, operating on the route 1 to Colton/San Bernardino. Coincidentally, this is the last bus of this order (700-723) to be delivered, and it's young age shows here. Damn, it's memories all over again with the second (1986) Omni paint scheme. I can hear the L10G roaring right in front of my house. Please enjoy!
Turbo19 Posted December 26, 2012 Author #3 Posted December 26, 2012 Cool pic! Thanks. The quality could have been better but mind you this is a very old photo. If only you guys could've seen (and heard) these mofos in service. You could see them shining in the distance and the heavy growl was a nice reassurance that the bus was hauling ass up to your stop. My all time favorite fleet as a fan for sure.
Quill Depot Posted December 26, 2012 #4 Posted December 26, 2012 Wow. She looks beautiful. The pic is still view-able.
User Posted December 26, 2012 #5 Posted December 26, 2012 "Smog Free CNG" lol, I can't believe that's what they used to say 15 years ago!
Turbo19 Posted December 27, 2012 Author #6 Posted December 27, 2012 LOL, neither can I. Such an oxymoron. Thanks for commenting.
Turbo19 Posted December 29, 2012 Author #9 Posted December 29, 2012 L10G, DD50G? Cummins L10G until a 2001 fleet repower.
