Eren Jaeger Posted September 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 For those who need in the know, anyone here should edit the wiki since I found the entry dates for these vehicles dated April 2000 (shout out to Fleet Manager, whoever ran it): https://web.archive.org/web/20010603205821/http://fleetmanager.tripod.com/BusList.pdf Notably, #1001 entered service on July 28, 1998. Orion V buses #7014 and #7023 were the first Orion V lifts to enter service out of Arrow Road on July 8, 1996 with #7034 the last on September 10. Those were found on the 36, 46, 60, 84, 106 and 108. Malvern's #7079, #7084, #7085, #7088, #7098, #7099, and #7101 entered service on August 2, 1996 which they ran on the 21, 39, 53, 57, and 85. #9414, a CNG, also entered service on November 25, 1996. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The originals, not the LF's. Hmm, the D40s always seemed to "fly" below the radar. I don't recall many strong feelings about them, good or bad -- even among (New) Flyer devotées in Queensway territory. Obviously, others feel free to weigh in. Each order was slightly different and visibly so -- in my mind, that made it hard to think of all D40s as a single fleet. Each set of ~60-70 units felt like a "one-off". The last batch in 1990 (6560-6638) had Cummins engines and powerful A/C plants; those had a bit of a following. I found a few photos (ca 2007) in my archive: Here is 6454 on her way to the Expo grounds. Generally at this point their lives, they only came near Downtown on shuttles or streetcar replacement services: Ah yes, a far more typical sight -- departing a subway station at the outer reaches of the system. On a relaxed Saturday morning, 6500 sets out from Royal York station for points north: Moments later, 6504 delivers yet another quintessential scene. Here she is arriving at Royal York subway after a short trip on Route 76. Doesn't get any more Queensway than that! (incidentally, this is one of my very favourite pictures in my whole collection!) Enjoy! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
