Shaun Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Ontario Northland 5092 in Timmins en route to bus garage What is with them and Nice buses with Rusty Rims? Every D4505 i have seen is very nice, but always has rust all over the rims. Is it because they came from another bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore_518203 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Spotted Ontario Northland 5072 sitting all day at the Timmins Station I notice in the background is the new Timmins Transit Terminal that is at the station. Is there any chance that you can post photos of it and some of the TT buses in the Timmins Transit thread? I am curious as to how the new TT terminal is.

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have done a bit of work on the WIKI page for Ontario Northland and noticed that 5033 (of which I have a photo) as well as 5032 (image in this thread) were not listed on the WIKI at all. I have added those two buses to the WIKI listing. But that brings me to believe that there is also a J4500 numbered 5031. Can anyone comfirm or correct that for me please? http://www.cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=O...All-time_roster . As well, I have added my collection of Ontario Northland Photos to my website here: http://www.busdrawings.com/coach/ontario/o...hland/index.htm .

Hi Peter, I cannot answer the question about 5031 but in going through my photos, I noticed that 5012 is not shown on the Wiki (photo attached taken in July 2006). This brings up another question of whether there was a 5011? Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brings up another question of whether there was a 5011? Nice! Thanks for posting that Kevin. I wonder how many others that are not listed? I have added that coach to the WIKI. I believe it is a 102-DL3 or is it a D4500? Do we know what year that coach is by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is a 102-DL3 or is it a D4500? Do we know what year that coach is by chance? In examining the photo more closely, you can clearly see the former fleet number 506 above the drivers window. This would make it a 2001 D4500 according to the Wiki. However, I thought that when MCI changed from 102DL3 to D4500, they also went with the new logo. This bus has the older logo which is normally associated with the 102DL3. Without checking the builders plate, we may never know for sure. I am not sure how many of the 500 series buses were renumbered but it would be nice to get a fleet roster from Ontario Northland to clear things up.

Without checking the builders plate, we may never know for sure.I am not sure how many of the 500 series buses were renumbered but it would be nice to get a fleet roster from Ontario Northland to clear things up. The 500 series buses where renumbered as follows : 501 to 5991, 502 to 5992, 503, to 5993, 504 to ? 5001, 505 to 5011, 506 to 5012, 507 to 5021, 508 to 5031, 509 to 5032, 510 to 5033, 511 to 5041, 512 to 5042. 5021 is an 2002 J4500, 5031, 5032 & 5033 are 2003 J4500, 5041, 5042 are 2004 J4500, 5051, 5052 & 5053 are 2005 D4500, 5071, 5072 & 5073 are 2007 D4505, 5091 & 5092 are 2009 D4505. 5002 is an 2000 DL3 that was purchased used. Here is how the fleet number works, example 5091 is the 5 means 45 foot bus, 09 is the year and 1 is the first bus in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ontario Northland # 5073 in Ottawa today as the team bus for the Sudbury Wolves hockey team. The Sookram Bus lines website is still listed as the official carrier of the Wolves but looks like this is no longer the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. DeLarge Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Spotted two ONT Prevosts I had yet not seen before: solid white 5021 (license plate 328 2BF), and solid blue 5022 (328 3BF). Both have very minimal markings. Used acquisitions maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Another longtime MCI customer going with Prevost. But since these are not new, I'm wondering if these are just a short term lease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
