Anybody else notice how much the O5s have been moving around? 479 and 491 just went from Castleton to Kingsbridge, and 662, 666, and 675 are in Gun Hill. Also I believe 6280 is new to Gun Hill, I just saw it the other day. And there's a 200-series in Kingsbridge, 245 I think, though I 'm not sure if it's here to stay (I hope not, those 1992/93 repowers sound like damned garbage trucks). I applaud 1995/96 O5s in my area though. Very Happy

The NYCT Orion V diesels seem to be tough buses.
Low numbered units from 1993 still are seen working in everyday service.

Almost half of Casey Stengel Depot bus fleet are 93 Orion V's which are still being used in service. (146, 162-164, 167, 257-259, 261, 266-270, 272-273, 275, 277, 279-280, 283, 285-286, 288-305, 308, 310-316)

I would dread to see the day the 400s from SI moves into Casey Stengel where Stengel has to give up their 600s and 6000s.

I just saw bus 501 from Castleton on the Q20/44 today at Main and Roosevelt. I also believe 493 is at Stengel from SI.
