Canadian National Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 So, I've heard that 8902, 9126 and a MCI greyhound bus are in a scrap yard near Wakley, and I just had to see it for myself. I went over to Metro Towing place (people who owned the property) and explained that I and my other two friends wanted to get photos of these buses. Took about 10 minutes explaining who we were, and allowed us to photograph them (as long as we don't steal parts from them, and had to leave my name in a visitor sheet and went by ourselves) and these are the remainings of OC Transpo 1989 MCI classic 8902, and OC Transpos 1991 first Orion V purchased, 9126, and a Greyhound MCI bus numbered 896. (The people I went with were Cogeno and Hurdmanhugz of this board) OC Transpo 9126 Photos: http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=184536 OC Transpo 8902 Photos: http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=184538 Greyhound 896 Photos: http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=184539 These were taken today, at the begining on PM rush, and the location of the Yard is along the 192 route at Wakley and some street. (It's right beside a Brinks building) Point55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post the pictures I took up later as I am not home yet! Yeah, but you felt uncomfortable talking to the people at the office who laughed at our hobby, and thought it was funny... But those guys were also very nice. Point55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Wright Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hmmm, this is the first place to let us transit fans in Ottawa in to see dead buses. I've tried many times with DoubleT, no success. Metro Towing rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried many times with DoubleT, no success.Metro Towing rules Well, the trick is, just don't tell them your transitfans. Tell them if you can be allowed to photograph the old buses out in their yard. Just pictures. If they ask why, start explaining. Anyways, since they are recognized with us, hopefully we can be allowed again. We could've gone in the yard and take our sweet time. Hopefully they get more buses. Point55.

Cogeno Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Well, we did get something along the lines of "You do realzie that's pretty weird, right?" But yeah, they did let us in regardless. They were nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian National Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I should've taken a picture of the bathroom On that Greyhound bus?! I wouldn't even go in it, because of the way it was parked. Something that was funny, the fence at the entrance had a "BEWARE OF DOG" sign, and their was no dog. Heheh. Point55.
