WMATA Bus #5314

[NTHN34X]

This is fastest pusher articulated bus I've ever seen on the 70. lol

But, it's a Neoplan AN460, right? Or is it a AN459?

[rts9100]

I love it!!! Great Catch!

[MetroLinerXLZ]

@rts9100 Thanks for the compliment.

And I've also caught word of what you've been dealing with. Keep in mind that some of what you're dealing with (i.e. low viewership counts) are a result of some changes that YouTube made in their infinite wisdom. As far as the ratings thing goes, that's a bunch a bullshit. Don't let none of that Mickey Mouse B.S. stop you from posting your material. I for one enjoy your stuff, just don't have time to watch it often.

@MetroLinerXLZ Thanks man....That's appreciated...I have another account but I haven't gotten the real chance to fully convert over to that account yet.....

The engine on this bus sounds exactly like the ones used on Greyhound's DL3 series.

[Dkels219]

I'm Definitely With You On That One. Because it damn sure does. I thought i was the only one hearing things LOL!

[studpuppy69]

Because it is! ;) Except these have way more power!

[vze428s7]

lol we all know septa neoplans are the best!!!!!! because they have a huge dd50 and they sound sexy as shit!!!!! the best DD50 sound ever

[Dkels219]

You might be right on that end. But New Jersey Transit's Neoplans Sounds Alot better than SEPTA's. Just My Opinion.

[vze428s7]

true and they have a faster take off when coming to acceleration!!!! septa's units are slower when comin acceleration due to the turbo lag!!! but dont sleep on en though cause once they get moving they haul ass!!!! lol u should c them go on I-95.

[Dkels219]

Oh you're on that point because i nornally takes the "60" Allegheney bus sometimes when i don't feel like driving to work LOL! Good Point My Friend. I learn something everyday.

[studpuppy69]

It's not turbo lag. They are torque limited off the line. I've ran into ONE Series 60 bus personally, that had this feature disabled, OMG you step on the gas, a huge ploom of black smoke, instant turbo boost you were off, even between 10-30 look back in the mirror black smoke. Someone complained about the smoke and they fixed it... :(

[buswizard]

Yeah I rode 7203 on the 27 and it hit 70 on the freeway! I LOVE NEOPLAN AN460 ARTICS!!! Especially SEPTA's and WMATA's

[landoverdivision321]

Is it me, or does the Neoplan AN460 look like a bus that you would find in another country?

[MetroLinerXLZ]

You actually would. These are built in Germany as well, with much better success than here in the U.S.

[landoverdivision321]

Hey, do you use a digital camera for your audio recordings, or a camcorder?

[MetroLinerXLZ]

Niether. I use a Radioshack tape recorder which I've had since late 2005, and it's the best investment I've made.

[landoverdivision321]

Hmm, maybe I should use one of those. How much is it?

[MetroLinerXLZ]

It's about $49. You'll have to pick up that (and a "double-edge" cable) from Radioshack.

[bjb91productions]

That's not a bad price. Maybe i'll pick up one.

[landoverdivision321]

I've heard Neoplans AN460s elsewhere. Some of them sound like Orion V/VIs. WMATA's Neoplans sound the best.

[TuneRVisioN510]

Guess you haven't heard NJT, Septa, or BeeLines Neoplans yet. :P

[landoverdivision321]

Don't the BeeLines sound like Orions along with the SEPTAs. I think.

[TuneRVisioN510]

Septa got the S50, search for Neoplan 18 pulling off. BeeLine has the S60 and sounds like some of the MCI coaches we have under MTA, since they got S60.

[landoverdivision321]

My bad about SEPTAs Neoplans. I meant to say their NABIs sound like Orions.

[vze428s7]

septa nabi's sounmd annoying, they always have that loud vacuum sound when thry're driving, only some sound good tho from septa. O yea and i notice that New York Mta New Flyer D60 and Septa's Neoplan An460 both sport 50's and sound the same.

[vze428s7]

Lol i love the sound of septa neoplan an460's, its like the best DD50 sound ever and to make it better, its in a articulated bus.

[studpuppy69]

Wow, never knew they had the Series 60 in a city bus, much less a articulated first time for everything I guess. Are these still in service? What's amazing it sounds like there is NO LAG on take off, you just hear it go! What the HP rating? Is that a B-500?

[gunitsoldier5025]

I wish that wmata should get some articulated DE60LFR or NABI 60-BRT CNG.

[richardflint07]

That's a neoplan AN-460 Arctic Bus. They Have those in the Bee-line Buses.
