Orion 05.501 CNG #1476 (ex-#213) was on the N6 dropping off passengers across the street from Belmont Park along Hempstead Tpke and was heading towards Hempstead Bus Terminal in where else? Hempstead, NY!
As you can probably tell, this bus was repainted! I must say, she looks VERY good. Well done MTA!

Dude! It's Orion 05.501 CNG #581-610. Orion 05.501 #611-630 are Suburban and Orion 05.501 #631-680 are local buses. Orion 05.501 #6110680 have DD50 series engines.

No. Okay, he's wrong. I misread that. Orion 05.501 CNG #581-610 had the L10G engines. Orion 05.501 #611-680 had the DD50 series engines.

Oops lol sorry, now I get it! I'm slow this week. :(

You sure 620-680 had L10G? Those aren't CNG buses.
602 was a typo, I meant 620. lol
TuneRVisioN510 3 years ago
Not exactly, 602-680 are plain Orion V's with S50.
TuneRVisioN510 3 years ago
They did. They were repowered with S50G engines though. NYCTA #317 and #581-680 originally came with L10G engines, piggybacked off the LIB Order.
