MTA New York City Transit # 226 - 1993 Orion 05.501

[knightclassic1]

I really don't like these repowered on a early 90s model. I rather have 6V92TA.

[knightclassic1]

This was my favorite Orion V batch ordered by NYCTA. But it's pretty rare for any 1993 model buses has S50 engine.

[PowWarden1]

didn't those use to have 6v92ta engines and HT 747 transmissions?

[ENTERTAINMENT35]

these are the engines that suffolk transits 9900 buses have i think

[Kote12TK]

Well, the only way I can hear that nice Detroit engine of Orions on the Bee-Line is by riding those 32 footer buses, and they're not that easy to come by on the Bee-Line, since the lower use Routes such as 9, 16, 66, and 78 use them.

Sounds like Novabus Classics 9600s in CT.

[Spectacular66]

This sounds pretty good! Love that shot of the steering wheel! Damn I wanna drive one of these bad boys one day

[s88thebus]

it's always nice to hear DDS50 or DDS50EGR on the Orion V.

This bus actually sounds real strong!!! Especially for a repowered 1993 Orion! Excellent clip!

[ea90744]

yeah i love the way these 100/200s sound. Do they still have any left in the bronx or have most of them moved to queens ? Do they still have those 6000s down in Staten Island ?

[rts9100]

There's very few 100/200s around the Bronx and Queens, and the 6000s are in the Bronx, Queens, and Staten isalnd.....We gotta chill!!!

[ea90744]

very good. one more friggin month.

[rts9100]

Oh yeah.....can't wait!!!

[Kote12TK]

@rts9100 Repowered?

[rts9100]

@Kote12TK The original engine in this bus was the 6V92TA engine....Back in like 2000 or something it was changed (repowered) to a DD50 EGR engine!

[brownbrownson]

this bus must have around 416,000 miles on it's odometer..

what kind of voice recorder do you have?

[ea90744]

I have one of those Sony Minidisc Recorder and that T-shaped microphone. Sony discontinued the production of minidisc recorder. However, you can find them on ebay.

[s88Limitedbus]

hopefully you have recording of all NYCT's buses.

[s88Limitedbus]

these will be retired by december right along with the 1990-1991 TMC RTS and 1994 Ex-PBL TMC RTS.

Also these buses were repowered since 2000,the MTA repower all their 1993 Orion between 2000 until 2003 when they completed repowering them.

The Orion V diesel are better then the Orion V CNG. ;)
