Even then, the Phantoms were rapidly dwindling -- though I didn't have to look too hard for 'em at 14th & Market. Surprised to hear that any are still around... Can't leave the Lou without a pic like this: Reference shot, where typical early 2000s Phantom body features are on display: Here's 2056, looking toward Downtown as she prepares for an afternoon outbound trip: Couldn't quite get two Phantoms in the same place; had to settle for dreary Gillig LFs competing with their better-looking older brothers for attention: ] I never could determine the vehicle number ranges for the Phantoms -- they were kind of all over the place. Anyone have any roster info? At the time, the OC Transp... uh, I mean used D60LF artics were just showing up. Then, as now, exclusively on 70 Grand route: I always thought that was a cool paint scheme, but they went a little overboard with the black on the D60LFs (and on the Gillig LFs, for that matter). This scheme would have looked sharper with maybe a little more blue. Oh well -- looking forward to seeing the roll-out of the new STL paint scheme. Enjoy! https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/St._Louis_Metro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
