gilbarco Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Just spotted a brand new D60LFR on 109 Street facing southbound, waiting to go on a run downtown. Fleet number is 825. Headlights had a bluish tinge, so either LED or HID, and face is the same style as the ETS. D60LFRs. If I recall, there should be another one of these coming soon if it isn't already here.

armorand Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Are the roof-top HVACs the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted October 27, 2012 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Cool, something new in the Edmonton area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbarco Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Didn't notice what the rooftop HVAC looked like. By the time it registered in my mind what I saw, I was long past the bus. I will definitely keep my eye out for it, and it's likely I'll ride it soon. Didn't notice what the rooftop HVAC looked like. By the time it registered in my mind what I saw, I was long past the bus.

gilbarco Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Spotted 826 in an Edmonton bound bay at Village Tree. The HVAC units resemble the older DF60LF®s in the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same thing as the rest of the fleet then, typical order with heater only! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted November 8, 2012 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Not a fun day for transit out there!

armorand Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 So this is why my Facebook newsfeed from ETS and area said "expect up to 2.5 hour delays". Hope everyones okay out there, and hope this storm doesnt hit Winnipeg too badly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlo86 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 So St. Albert #806 now appears to live in Calgary with one of the pub crawl companies operating down here. Here is a photo of it Friday night by the University of Calgary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general682002 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 It could use a rollsign Why? That bus is pretty much a party limo, but it certainly won't last as I've seen the video on hearing the Series 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Find! I wonder what's the fleet number is for the D40LF. Also the bus looks like parked at A-1 Auto Salvage. I may be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong though. I am not from the area so you might be right . It looks like its in someone's overgrown and abandoned backyard with a plan to convert it to something, but perhaps gave up haha, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true.. This is probably just the start of a "mass" sale that they have going on . I'm curious to see what the condition is for both of them.
