Orion 05.501 CNG #9848 (ex-Queens Surface Corporation) was on a deadhead (Not In Service) heading towards the College Point Bus Depot in College Point, Queens. This bus was traveling along Astoria Blvd in East Elmhurst, Queens.
It took its sweet time to pass me BUT listen to the sounds of that bus passing by. WHEW! Enjoy!
NOTE: As of sometime last year (2008), Orion 05.501 CNG #9848 is now in the MTA New York City Transit system at the West Farms Bus Depot. The bus still says, "MTA Bus" but for how much longer? Stay Tuned!
wow. what a Fast Bus!

I think it's the fastest 40footer in the system.

I like how the bus drivers in Queens keeps up with cars, sometimes even pass them when they're next to each other. The Orion V CNG is one fast bus...
