  1. Please let me know whether or not these TriMet Gillig Phantom VINs are correct. They are simpler (at least) to figure out than the Flxible Metro VIN codes. 1990 GILLIG PHANTOM 40102TBL10 (VEHICLE #s 1401-1463) (delivered 9-10/1990) (Cummins LTA10-270B engine / Voith D863.2

  2.

My new bit of information is credited to this link, and by looking at the last picture, which shows the inside of bus no. 1762 and the one label reminding us about something that isn't even there: http://trimetrider.blogspot.com/2011/12/that-other-trimet-geek-activists.html ~Ben
  3. I was just informed that around 15 to 20 Ex-Golden Gate Transit 1994 Flxible Metro "D" 40102-4D suburbans are still active in 2015 and are running for Charleston Area Regional Transit Authority (CARTA). GGT 1401 has been preserved by a private owner. Also, TriMet seems to still be using 1992 Flxible Metro "C" 40102-4C's. Does anyone know of any other Flxibles still in service?

Here's some New Flyer VIN numbers for you... and straight out of the New Flyer operator's guide covering TriMet units 2501-2560 Model: D40LF-SR664 Engine: Cummins ISC 280 Transmission: Voith D863.3 Example VIN: 5FYD2LP03YU021545 (unit 2501) 5FY = manufacturer identifier (New Flyer of America) D = diesel fuel 2 = low-floor bus (before 2004) L = D40LF (before 2004) P = Cummins ISC engine 0 = air brakes Y = model year 2000 U = assembled at New Flyer of America in Crookston, MN 021545 = sequence number Complete list: 2501: 5FYD2LP03YU021545 2502: 5FYD2LP05YU021546 2503: 5FYD2LP07YU021547 2504: 5FYD2LP09YU021548 2505: 5FYD2LP00YU021549 2506: 5FYD2LP07YU021550 2507: 5FYD2LP09YU021551 2508: 5FYD2LP00YU021552 2509: 5FYD2LP02YU021553 2510: 5FYD2LP04YU021554 2511: 5FYD2LP06YU021555 2512: 5FYD2LP08YU021556 2513: 5FYD2LP0XYU021557 2514: 5FYD2LP01YU021558 2515: 5FYD2LP03YU021559 2516: 5FYD2LP0XYU021560 2517: 5FYD2LP01YU021561 2518: 5FYD2LP03YU021562 2519: 5FYD2LP05YU021563 2520: 5FYD2LP07YU021564 2521: 5FYD2LP09YU021565 2522: 5FYD2LP00YU021566 2523: 5FYD2LP02YU021567 2524: 5FYD2LP04YU021568 2525: 5FYD2LP06YU021569 2526: 5FYD2LP02YU021570 2527: 5FYD2LP04YU021571 2528: 5FYD2LP06YU021572 2529: 5FYD2LP08YU021573 2530: 5FYD2LP0XYU021574 2531: 5FYD2LP01YU021575 2532: 5FYD2LP03YU021576 2533: 5FYD2LP05YU021577 2534: 5FYD2LP07YU021578 2535: 5FYD2LP09YU021579 2536: 5FYD2LP05YU021580 2537: 5FYD2LP07YU021581 2538: 5FYD2LP09YU021582 2539: 5FYD2LP00YU021583 2540: 5FYD2LP02YU021584 2541: 5FYD2LP04YU021585 2542: 5FYD2LP06YU021586 2543: 5FYD2LP08YU021587 2544: 5FYD2LP0XYU021588 2545: 5FYD2LP01YU021589 2546: 5FYD2LP08YU021590 2547: 5FYD2LP0XYU021591 2548: 5FYD2LP01YU021592 2549: 5FYD2LP03YU021593 2550: 5FYD2LP05YU021594 2551: 5FYD2LP07YU021595 2552: 5FYD2LP09YU021596 2553: 5FYD2LP00YU021597 2554: 5FYD2LP02YU021598 2555: 5FYD2LP04YU021599 2556: 5FYD2LP07YU021600 2557: 5FYD2LP09YU021601 2558: 5FYD2LP00YU021602 2559: 5FYD2LP02YU021603 2560: 5FYD2LP04YU021604 It should be known that the 10th digit used (the plant code) varies according to year range. Until 2002, all of the D40LFs bound for Portland, OR (TriMet ordered its first D40LFs -- units 2001 to 2022 -- in 1996, to be delivered in the fall of 1997) were assembled in Crookston, MN. During 2002, this code letter's description was changed to signify final assembly at the St. Cloud, MN assembly plant, and so units 2601-2655 (fall 2002 delivery) and 2701-2725 (spring 2003 delivery) might have been built at both Crookston and St. Cloud respectively, although I'd suggest 2701-2725, being slightly later deliveries in the 2003 fiscal year, would definitely have been assembled in St. Cloud. New Flyer then changed its U.S. plant code again, this time providing separate code letters for its two U.S. assembly plants in MN. Units 2801-2839, being 2005 builds, would've been made at either the St. Cloud, MN (plant code "B") or the Crookston, MN (plant code "C") assembly plants, as would the D40LFR units 2901-2940 which were 2008 builds. The first eight digits of the VIN code for TriMet's other New Flyer builds (please correct me if necessary): 1FYD2LK0 for units 2001-2022 (1997) 5FYD2LP0 for units 2201-2258 (1998) and 2259-2318 (1999) 5FYH2LR0 for units 2561-2562 (2001) 5FYD2LU0 for units 2601-2655 (2002) and 2701-2725 (2003) 5FYD4FV0 for units 2801-2839 (2005) and 2901-2940 (2008) ~Ben

  7. This above video by chnchlla88 (from Taipei, Taiwan) shows said user riding what he claims is a 1994 TriMet Flxible Metro 1839 during his visit to Portland, OR. This bus is working on Line 76-Beaverton-Tualatin to Meridian Hospital (the video ends at Washington Square mall). The picture he used may be correct, but the actual video afterward doesn't seem to match the picture opening this. Can anyone else (whether from Taiwan like he, or right here in the USA/Canada) prove he's not actually riding 1839 but a 1700 series? The video is only in low-quality 240p (also note he originally made the video in December 2008) so I cannot read the bus number from the inside clearly. My reason for asking about this is because none of the other TriMet 1817-series buses seem to have that dark vampire exhaust hum (like the 1700 and 1900 series Flxibles TriMet has). Here's two such Flxibles that 1839 (at least in 2008) seemed to mimic: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=mPgZknVFCEI (bus 1788, by BCT-3122-D800-10240 - again on the 76 - vampire hum is delayed) (bus 1901, by punkrawker4783 - vampire hum is again delayed at times) (TriMet 1826 by MetroLinerXLZ - once again on the 76 to Meridian Hospital) ~Ben
  8. This was the starting roster of TriMet (Portland, OR) in 1971, as taken from the Motor Coach Age magazine from that year. 501-505 - 1960 GMC TDH4517 506-520 - 1963 GMC TDH4519 521-540 - 1964 GMC TDH4519 541-555 - 1965 GMC TDH4519 556-575 - 1966 GMC TDH4519 576-600 - 1971 GMC T8H5305A 601-650 - 1971 Flxible 111DD-D5-1 On order: 300-434 - 1972 Flxible 111DC-D06-1 All buses built before 1971 were previously operated by Rose City Transit. If anyone has any information as to all the buses TriMet had acquired from the "Blue Bus Lines" collective of local transit services serving cities outside of Portland (Intercity Buses, Portland Stages, Estacada-Molalla Stages, and Tualatin Valley Buses), as well as all those former Portland Traction Company buses Rose City Transit had operated between 1956-69, please reply to this topic. Most of these acquired buses were deemed unfit for post-acquisition service after TriMet's takeover of this collective on Sept. 6, 1970. Thank you, Ben Edge

  11. http://www.cptdb.ca/...trict_of_Oregon I've noticed some errors in this Wiki page. You mention that both fleets 576-600 (1971 GMC T8H5305A) and 601-650 (1971 Flxible 111DD-D5-1) were once Rose City Transit buses (along with units 501-575), but the problem with that is: Rose City Transit officially became TriMet on December 1, 1969. That means these two fleets of buses, both of which were delivered in 1971, were TriMet's first buses as TriMet. Buses 576-600 (the GMC New Looks) were the very first buses purchased after Rose City Transit had become TriMet, as replacements for all the acquired buses from the "Blue Bus" collective of suburban bus companies. The last new buses to be delivered to TriMet when as RCT, were the 1966 GMC New Looks (ID's #556-575). To get things straightened up on this: Buses 556-575 (the 1966 GMC TDH4519 fishbowls) were the last buses purchased by Rose City Transit, before the name change to TriMet. The name TriMet (a short form of Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon) was adopted December 1, 1969. All of the Rose City Transit buses and routes were acquired by TriMet in 1969. Buses 576-600 (the 1971 GMC T8H5305A fishbowls) were the first new buses purchased by the TriMet that we know today. I also want to add a year of retirement section here. All of the remaining ex-RCT buses were withdrawn from the TriMet fleet on September 27, 1985. TriMet's first buses as TriMet (the 1971 GMC T8H5305As) were withdrawn from the fleet on June 15, 1986. The first AM General buses, units 1000-1099, were withdrawn from the fleet when the first Flxible Metros for TriMet had arrived in June 1988. The remainder were pulled by 1990, when the Gillig Phantom 1400 series came in that fall, which also put the 100 series buses (the 1974 Flxible New Looks) out to pasture, along with the former 800 series (180-199) 1973 GMC fishbowls. The first of the 300 series Flxible New Looks were withdrawn in 1992 after the 1700 series Flxible Metros showed up; the remainder of these were gone in 1998-99, after the second batch of New Flyer LFs (Cummins ISC engine and Voith D863.3 transmission) showed up. The 1700 series (and the 1817 series, from 1994) also replaced the remainder of the GMC 800/180 series. The rejected Lane Transit District 1980 GMDD fishbowls, units 200-210, were withdrawn in 1994. The remaining 1981 Crown/Ikarus articulated buses, units 700-786, were withdrawn from the fleet in March 1999; the first of these were pulled just two years earlier (in 1997). All ten of the LNG-fueled buses, units 1464-1465 (1992 Gillig Phantom) and 1809-1816 (1993 Flxible Metro "D"), were withdrawn from the fleet at the end of 2000. The remaining 1982 GMC RTS II buses, units 900-974, were withdrawn from the fleet in 2001. Five were initially withdrawn by 1999. The remaining 1988-89 Flxible Metro "B" buses, units 500-549 ('88) and 550-637 ('89), were withdrawn from the fleet by 2006. I remember riding one of those for the last time in August 2005. The ten 1994 Flxible Metro "D" buses with the Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine, units 1844-1853, were pulled from the fleet in 2009 due to budget cuts. The two 2001 New Flyer hybrid LF buses, units 2561-2562, were withdrawn from the fleet this May. ~Ben
  12. For all those of you who have any never-before-seen pictures (preferred year cut off before 1995) of TriMet and C-TRAN (Vancouver, WA) buses of all kinds to roam the streets of Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA and their outlying suburbs. ~Ben
  13. I have a few changes I'd like to contribute to the TriMet Wiki page here at the CPTDB. I am hoping you all can verify such changes that I intend to add. Before the Voith DIWA.3 series, there was the DIWA.2 series. Thus, all the Flxible Metro buses (excepting 1844-1853, which use the Allison VR731RH transmission) and the 1400 and 1600 series Gillig Phantoms would use the D863.2 transmission (on the Flxibles they are V-drive, and so are technically called "D863.2-W7"; while the normal D863.2 designation without any additional major suffix would be for T-drive applications; thus, an internal designation for the normal T-drive D863.2 is "D863.2T," as Dave Stubblefield refers to it on his old website). The folks at TriMet's mechanical department confirmed to me that the DIWA generation used on all pre-1997 buses was of the DIWA.2 version. Without further ado: 500-549 (II) - 1988 Flxible Metro "B" 40102-6C with Cummins L10 (270 hp) and Voith D863.2-W7 550-637 (II) - 1989 Flxible Metro "B" 40102-6C with Cummins L10 (270 hp) and Voith D863.2-W7 1401-1463 - 1990 Gillig Phantom 40/102TB/L10 with Cummins L10 (270 hp) and Voith D863.2 1601-1630 - 1990 Gillig Phantom 30/102TB/L10 with Cummins L10 (240 hp) and Voith D863.2 1631-1643 - 1991 Gillig Phantom 30/102TB/L10 with Cummins L10 (240 hp) and Voith D863.2 1701-1808 - 1992 Flxible Metro "C" 40102-6C with Cummins L10E CELECT (280 hp) and Voith D863.2-W7 1901-1910 - 1992 Flxible Metro "C" 30102-6C with Cummins L10E CELECT (280 hp) and Voith D863.2-W7 1464-1465 - 1992 Gillig Phantom 40/102TB/L10 (LNG) with Cummins L10G (Phase II?) (240 hp) and Voith D863.2 1809-1816 - 1993 Flxible Metro "D" 40102-6C (LNG) with Cummins L10G (Phase II?) (240 hp) and Voith D863.2-W7 1817-1843 - 1994 Flxible Metro "D" 40102-6M with Cummins M11E CELECT (280 hp) and Voith D863.2-W7 2101-2160 - 1997 Gillig Phantom C21D102N4 with Cummins M11E Plus (280 hp) and Voith D863.3 2201-2258 - 1998 New Flyer D40LF with Cummins ISC (280 hp) and Voith D863.3 2259-2318 - 1999 New Flyer D40LF with Cummins ISC (280 hp) and Voith D863.3 2501-2560 - 2000 New Flyer D40LF with Cummins ISC (280 hp) and Voith D863.3 2601-2655 - 2002 New Flyer D40LF with Cummins ISL (280 hp) and Voith D864.3E 2701-2725 - 2003 New Flyer D40LF with Cummins ISL (280 hp) and Voith D864.3E 2801-2839 - 2005 New Flyer D40LF with Cummins ISL (280 hp) and Voith D864.3E 2901-2940 - 2009 New Flyer D40LFR with Cummins ISL9 (280 hp) and Voith D864.5 3001-3051 - 2012 Gillig Low Floor BRT with Cummins ISL9 (280 hp) and Voith D864.5 (?) Can anyone here confirm what the Cummins L10G version was back in 1992 and 1993? Was it "Phase II"? Thank you, Ben
