TTC T6H-5307N 2252 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Are there any buses with DD 6V71N, 6V92TA, S50, S50EGR left? Too add is TTC 7400-7881 with S50EGR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Yes, there are in various places such as New York (NYCMTA), Charleston (CARTA), Washington (WMATA), etc etc. But, alternatively, you could look in the CPTDB Wiki. Just go to the Series 50 page, and find "What Links Here" on the bottom left of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Transpo/STO Fan Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 STO still has some 6V92TA Classics and one 6V71N Fishbowl. Edit: As of December 16, 2019, this is still true but the fishbowl is now retired from service. However, it's still being preserved. There are only seven Classics left, none of which are original STO units (but are ex-Calgary units). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.A Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Take NYC off the list of the DD50 Series cities (though nearby Bee Lines have a handful of 30 foot 2005 Orion V diesels with DD50SEGR engines). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasbo2 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Here in Ann Arbor, AATA has one bus currently in service that is powered by a DDS-50 EGR engine. Sadly, all the rest in Ann Arbor’s fleet is powered by Cummins. DDOT and SMART have some run by DDS-50EGR but eventually all buses will only be powered by Cummins.

OC Transpo/STO Fan Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 STO has revealed a while ago that the only 6V71N bus (Fishbowl 7901) they have will not be used for revenue service ever again due to maintenence issues, so take them off the list for the 6V71N. However, they still have seven or so ex-Calgary Classics left in service with the 6V92TA engine that will be supposedly retired in the summer of next year. They retired all their original Classics last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now just a heritage bus Since 2011 it's been persevered in STO's historic fleet. It occasionally was put in service during rush-hour if there was a bus shortage or if an operator requested it. It was last spotted in service by me in November 2017 with the photo I took below 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there are no plans in preserving a Classic at this time. There are currently three genuine STO Classics sitting dead at the garage (MCI Classic 8907 & NovaBus Classics 9411 & 9516) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasbo2 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 It's sad that there's only one engine company dominating the public transportation market. I think it would be nice if other engine companies chipped in. Hopefully Detroit Diesel will enter the public transportation market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
