"I'm disappointed that I never got to ride the Orion Vs. They really seemed to be a great fit for PAT"you and me both brother....well actually I got to ride them when those buses were around when I was a kid in the 90s I didn't know what kind of buses they were at the time but I just really liked riding them I remember telling my mom to make sure We would ride those kind of buses lol I wanna shed a tear sometimes because I would do anything to bring them back to our city but its too late now I'm just pissed I never got to get pictures of them like I did of the Flxibles and the currently running Flxibles / Novas :( dont get me wrong I really like the flxs but the orions were my total favorite those 6V92s really sounded great in those buses, I think the last Orion I rode was #2293 DD50 powered orion (We had 13 DD50 powered ones I believe) I just wish I could of had some sort of camera at the time I miss those buses so bad! forgot to mention one of our Former orions were found just last month! #2211 was sitting at a Scrap yard after spending the past 2-3 years at a Fire Department this person took a picture of it I'll post that later on, funny thing about that bus it was the LAST orion V to go period! last running one. the only things I have to remember of our Orions is the two Ride-On ones up in Maryland (5546 and 5547 those buses sound just like ours with the 6V92) LI-Bus also has (or had) some that I like the good thing about it some of orions got second lives up in Canada, Ajax Pickering Transit Authority (I think now known as Durham Area Transit) has atleast 3 or 4 of our 2200s still runnning And to this date I have taken on liking Bee-Lines 2006 Orion V's with the cummins engines (The 600s I believe?)...I dont know why but those things sound mean and I wouldn't mind riding those! |
