Posted by UTC Bus Roster on Mon Nov 7 09:34:37 2011, in response to Re: BX55: the way it was, posted by WayneJay on Sat Nov 5 00:14:35 2011. FYI, the 4801-4919 were renumbered 6500-6918 respectively. 4800 was only 4800-series fishbowl to be sent to Blitz for rebuild as 5511.Eventually, the lowest-numbered of this series (4800-4822) was transferred rto Ulmer Park, where the lasted for many years. Also, the 1981 & 1983 RTS buses were some of the slowest buses on the planet! Only 2281-2300 had 6V-92 engines. The rest had the 6V-71. All of the 1982 RTS buses came with the 6V-92. I remember that 2205 & 2210 could not make it up Kingsbridge Hill! 2201 should have been retained for the museum RTS. It was the first RTS (except for the demo) delivered to NYC. It was delivered a month before 1201 was delivered. It was also the only RTS bus delivered with 4 roof hatches, instead of the standard 2 roof hatches. |
