Board Admin A. Wong Posted February 8, 2015 Board Admin Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Okay, are you able to see any former markings of a fleet number on the blue XL-II then? I know Diversified had a few of those, but I was never able to get fleet numbers for them. Do you mean that you think Diversified had the ex-Orleans Xs at one point? I would have thought they were right from BC Transit, during the olympics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
translink fan Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Do you mean that you think Diversified had the ex-Orleans Xs at one point? I would have thought they were right from BC Transit, during the olympics! I'm assuming they went from Orleans Express, to being lease coaches. Then they were leased to BC Transit for Olympics, then afterwards, Diversified leased them. The only shots I got of them were in Diversified markings. It carried unit number 06.

The dirty window distorted it though. I didn't get a rear shot because it actually took off seconds later, but I saw another unit yesterday on the highway near Fremont and it had a 102-D3/D4000 back end.

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 You do know the difference between a D4000 and a 102-D3, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 You do know the difference between a D4000 and a 102-D3, right? Actually not really. I thought the D4000 was just a new name for the 102-D3 starting in 2001. I know 102 = 102 inches, D = D Series, 3 = 3 axles. But, D4000... D Series 40 foot, and 00 = ? What was the actual difference? The back end looked kind of older in my opinion when I saw one drive by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Rear of a 102-D3: Rear of a D4000: Oh see now. The D4000 has the MCI logo on the HVAC vents. The Golden West Travel MCI that I saw on the highway is actually in a video I filmed while on another bus. The quality isn't good, but I can check it later today. Thanks for that clarification.
