HOMESTAR WIKI
Your brand new wiki is bloke
  • This is not a joké, this is real.
  • I would suggest trying again at a latter date, but that's just me...
  • If you don't believe me, than ask this guy over there
If you check back later, we'll form into a giant wiki-fixing space panthor!

Yeah!

Yep, it works

BARTA used to have Orion buses, but they're all retired now. There were...
  • 10 35 ft. 1989 Orion Is (8901-8910)
  • 5 40 ft. 1989 Orion Is (8911-8915)
  • 11 35 ft. 1990 Orion Is (9001-9011)
  • 5 40 ft. 1990 Orion Is (9012-9016)
  • 1 1992 Orion V CNG (9201)
  • 1 1994 Orion V CNG (9403)
  • 1 1996 Orion V CNG (9601)
  • 3 1998 Orion II CNG mini buses (9801-9803)

The Orion Is had Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engines while the Orion Vs had Detroit Diesel Series 50G engines, and the smaller Orion II buses had Cummins 5.9G engines. The Orion Vs and Orion IIs ran on compressed natural gas (CNG), and they were quieter and less smoky than the diesel buses, but they had no power, and were really slow. I don't give a crap about those buses, but I miss the Orion Is, and I miss the 1991 Gillig Phantoms (9101-9112), which also had Detroit Diesel 6V92-TA engines, and they were all 35 ft. long. I miss the deep, guttural "vroom" coming from their Detroit Diesel engines and that sweet turbo whine. These buses have been replaced with Gillig BRTs, which have Cummins ISL diesel engines.

  • 17 35 ft. 2005 Gillig BRTs (0533-0549)
  • 7 35 ft. 2007 Gillig BRTs (0750-0756)
  • 13 35 ft. 2008 Gillig BRTs (0857-0869)
  • 13 40 ft. 2008 Gillig BRTs (0870-0882)
  • 5 40 ft. 2009 Gillig BRT Hybrids (0991-0995)

The hybrids run on a combination of diesel fuel and electric power, and they are more fuel efficient, which is a good thing, but they don't have the deep, throaty growl that I like. If BARTA got hybrid buses with that Detroit Diesel growl, I'd be all over them. Then, I could forget about the old Orion Is and Gillig Phantoms, which are gone...forever.
