Posted by PATransit on Sun Jan 13 11:46:07 2008, in response to Re: PICS: Old Archived PAT shots, posted by The Flxible Neofan on Sun Jan 13 10:51:46 2008. the white neo artic was a "loaner" bus not ours, the Ikarus buses were replaced by the 3100s (which run the EBA now) in 2005, the suburban neoplans artics (3000s) replaced our old MAN artics in 1998 so its like this....Ikarus (3020-3044) were replaced by the 2005 Neoplans (3101-3125) M.A.Ns (3050-3079) were replaced by the 1998 Neoplan Artics (3050-3075) we actually had two orders of MAN buses the first order was AM general spec'd though we got those in 1979 (3000-3019) then the later order came in 1983, forgot to mention the Ikarus replaced the first order of MANs, thats how it went if I recall....hopefully I'm explaining this to you good lol! The orion I's we had were something from PennDOT on loan to us because of the construction going on as well, you was pretty much right about those man just off on the agency, those were Ex-PACE Orion I's that we had (I never got to ride them unfortunantly) Now the sign thing your mixed up on lol but I'll fix that, the one on 2120 is ACTUALLY the newer kind...while the one on 2122 was actually older one....2120s got retrofitted during its later years, the kind 2122 had is the kind the first order of Orion V's had, the 1990-1 models (2000-2119, along with its sister CNGs 2121, 2123 & 2124) I forget how 2120 managed to get a retrofit but that bus had the sign of its later sisters the 35footers (1650-1686) and the later 91-92 models (2200-2299)...hopefully I explained this to you well If I didn't let me know and I'll try to explain better lol any more question just ask me I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. |
