Seashore_518203 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Pretty sharp paint scheme but I wonder why they went to a new scheme. The 2010 D40LFR buses (1962 to 1975) were also delivered in a new scheme. They were mainly green overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board Admin A. Wong Posted February 21, 2012 Board Admin Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The new livery matches their website quite well. I wonder if they are rebranding the entire system to "Woosh - A ride worth taking" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they continue ordering A/C on their new buses, the Xcelsior is impossible to tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimon8000 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Â It seems it was under decision at that time on new livery. It looks pretty good! I don't know if they continue ordering A/C on their new buses, the Xcelsior is impossible to tell! it is possible to tell, see the Thermo King Sticker on the A/C at the roof of those Xcelsior? Very very nice scheme btw.......much better than the previous version "new" scheme....... Looks good! When was the Xcelisors ordered? Says 2011 only on wiki, no months added no Xcelsior were there during my June 2011 visit so they must have to be delivered after June, the arrival of Xcelsior might end the era for the remaining Classics in the fleet, both ex-Santa Monica and ex-Utah one.........

general682002 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 it is possible to tell, see the Thermo King Sticker on the A/C at the roof of those Xcelsior? Because the Xcelsior rooftop design is so different, it covers the length just like the rest of the Xcelsior order. The LFR has a smaller length on their rooftop, so obviously it has a rooftop heater. Time to look on the roof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I wonder if Xcelsior would still have that rooftop if they don't come with A/C.......anyone know if any system orders Xcelsior without A/C?!

CR SD40-2 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Its not just for A/C use its a HVAC unit like what most buses have so it does provide heat as well,here is the info for you guys who didnt know http://www.thermoking.com/pdf/54389-3-PM_Brochure.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this, this may be their standard order with Xcelsior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted March 4, 2012 Board Admin Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Probably, no one else around here has Xcelsiors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 So now I am wondering if FMT #'s 3526-3527 are being kept up there as spare units. #'s 3522-3525 have now shown up at a Southland Transportation yard in Calgary. So I am wondering if these will end up operating with the other Classics and C40's that are already in use in Calgary by Southland Transportation or if they will end up in the Red Arrow Spruce Meadows fleet.... Could be interesting times ahead here in Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 According to the WIKI, there is also an ex-Santa Monica Classic numbered 3528. So it seems as though there are possibly 3 (#'s 3526-3528) of these still in the Fort McMurray area. I have no idea if they are still active or just parked as a reserve fleet or not. Here are a few vins: 3522 - 2AUYT82J6N3000027 (Dec. 1991) 3523 - 2AUYT82J0N3000024 (1991?) 3524 - 2AUYT82J1L3000188 (May 1990) 3525 - 2AUYT82J3L3000189 (May 1990) Also, I have added 23 new images to my FMT Photo gallery on my website thanks to Kevin Nicol and Simon Yiu.

general682002 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Just found out their Xcelsior buses have full HVAC! So they are the first fleet they've ordered with A/C! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV92 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 8 buses vandalized: http://www.fortmcmurraytoday.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3597349 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armorand Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 8 buses vandalized: http://www.fortmcmur....aspx?e=3597349 Preliminary reports indicated that the buses had nearly all of their windows smashed, fire extinguishers removed and deployed, oil and other fluids poured on the interior, and fires had been lit in two of the buses. Who in the F* would do this?! Like seriously, whoever did this should get the worst sentence imaginable. Also, maybe Fort McMurray should have a more... secure bus parking area, like FRG in Winnipeg (10-foot high fencing, billions of cameras, constables, etc). My guess is that a bunch of teenagers did this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
