trainfan22 Posted June 3, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 3, 2009 Awsome, lots of vintage transit photos have been posted lately. I would love to ride the GBL Grumman and the QSC Grumman on the QBX1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLok Posted June 3, 2009 Share #7 Posted June 3, 2009 Some of the photos saved from BusTalk before it went down, huh? I saved as much as I could myself before it was pulled before the deadline. *sigh* Was right in the midst of saving when it all went dead...

rmcconnell Posted June 3, 2009 Share #9 Posted June 3, 2009 The Steinway Transit bus looks really sharp with its yellow paint scheme. I believe the last of the Grumman 870s were retired in 2000 from Jamaica Buses, although don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHat Posted June 4, 2009 Share #13 Posted June 4, 2009 hmm I wonder why Green Bus Line inc ran on LEDs but when they went GMC RTS they went to roll signs same for Queens Surface. If im correct Nice collection btw! The 870's were kind of a consortium order spec. similar to the TA/OA order except for seat color and engine. All the PBL 870's had those signs. Jamaica went to roll signs as the maint. was a problem. The 870's lasted until 2000 there and had roll signs in the end. They even put roll signs in the TMC's. I wish I could get those vultron elec. dest. signs for my 870(NYCT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the 870's except for NYCTA 199, ex 100 demo had hoodlum lights & vutron signs when delivered. Now I need the vultron for 2089 and it's hard to come by w/ the hoodlum lamps & glass. It's the circle of life(NYCT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted June 10, 2009 Share #20 Posted June 10, 2009 All the PBL GM RTS-04/06 buses were delivered with rollsigns except for a small group of Command buses. Didn't Command actually OWN the 351-357 batch (which was from 1983; that is what you are referring to). As for the pics...nice retrievals. And no, I was too young to remember that most of the PBLs had 870s (when I started college at SJU, those 870s were in their final days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
