Posted by lbt 9415 on Sun Sep 27 11:15:54 2009 Saturday was the 34th annual Metro Bus Roadeo. It was held behind the Santa Anita Racetrack in the city of Arcadia. Hot as molasses outside with temperatures in the triple digits.I met up with a couple of other enthusiasts at LA Union Station. We took MTA Bus # 79. We got off 1 stop to soon and had to endure a long walk. After walking halfway. We eventually get there... -Maintenance Competition was earlier in the day -Bus Operators was finishing up. 35 operators competed & the winner will represent Metro at the 2010 Intl Bus Roadeo in Cleveland. -Lots of free food, Historic Cars, and buses on display. Scott Richards brought # 3015 ... which is a 1967 GMC "NewLook" SDM5302. Very fast bus with a DD8V71 engine and Allison VS2-8 transmission. Danny Elliot from Transit Systems also brought out Ex-LACMTA # 1189, which is a 1987 Neoplan AN440/3 with a DDEC Reliabilt 6V92 engine and Allison V731 transmission. Metro also brought out the following buses - NABI 45C.02 LFW # 8212 - NABI 42.01 BRTH # 4200 - NABI 60.01 BRT - and a few other stuff in which I hope other people will post on here. 2005 NABI 040.18-2LFW #7541  2002 NABI 040.18 LFW's used in the Bus Operators competition    1987 Neoplan AN440/3 # 1189. Its got brand new TwinVision destination signs a new USSC drivers seat.   1967 GMC "NewLook" SDM5302 - Regional Transit # 3015 in the RTD AIRPORT Express scheme  Cousins... The roadeo bus on the right is a 1963 GMC "NewLook" TDH-5303 ... Ex-Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority # 5090. It got retired sometime in the 80s and eventually converted into this.  |
