Been long time since I heard a 8v71N, a lot of MCI9s were repowered with 6v92Ts. The 8V71N sure sounds intimidating, and rev like hell! Those 8v71Ns were workhorses, they could scream all day.
That Prevost taking off sounds cool. And those MC-9's sounds absolutley brilliant!!!! I drove one identical to those a few years ago. Then that E4500 Rennaissance at the end sure picked up the rear nice. -BOGAR!
I've always been a huge fan of the mci mc8's and mc9's love the sound of that 8v71 detriot diesel and the mci mc8 and 9's styling ,the best busses ever.
Bustitution, or bus substitution, is what happens when a particular train or branch line is not in service and buses are used instead. For example, if there is no Ronkonkoma/Greenport train due to track work, a derailment, or a fatality, the railroad will ensure that buses are in place so passengers can reach their destination. Several companies are contracted for bustitution; Alert Coach Lines is one of them.
PS: By the way, with all due respect, that fourth bus was an E4500, not a J4500. The rear end are different on both model, also an E 4500 extra widow above it windsheld where a J4500 has it's two pices windsheld.
I used to love hearing that in the port authority bus terminal!

That Detroit Diesel 8V71N mean business. Nothing like hearing a Slicer Manual Transmission. Nice job catching that sound.

I was trying to figure out if that MC-9 with the 8V71N was a manual transmission. With it reving that high, I think that was a standard.

Indeed, that bus is equipped with a five speed manual.
