Southbound 51 Bus towards Downtown Dallas. Leaving Marsh & Walnut Hill Lane stop, ending towards the Marsh & Northwest Highway stop. NovaBus RTS. I think the engine is a Detroit Diesel is a DD Series 50 EGR with a ZF HP-592C Transmission.
Actually, there is a Series 50EGR diesel engine. You're certain to find them in the DART and Miami (03-041 series) Nabi's. You can also find them in TTC and MARTA's Orion VII diesels and NYCMTA's Model Year 2003 New Flyer D60HFs.
However, you will find the Series 50-EGR engine in buses built between late 2002 and late 2005 (when it was outlawed) in mostly Orion and Nabi's. These have been known to "choke" at takeoff. And I have to say I love that "choking".
Not sure, but DART plans on going with CNG as the fuel, so it could be NABI, New Flyer, or Orion. I would honestly love to see New Flyer get the contract and DART go with the restyled 40LF's, they just look cool.
Well I am not sure if you read the information that I put, but I listed it as a DD S50. I said I believe it is an EGR, but thank you for the clarification.
Series 50G. Nice. I love the sound of the turbo choke.

What year is this RTS? It sounds just like Detroit D-DOT's 2001-02 Nova RTSes.

I have heard some rumblings that we could possibly see new ones arrive as early as December 2009.
