As it stands, the 900s might have lasted longer if not for ISE, the folks who built the ThunderVolt hybrid drive units that powered them, going bankrupt and making future parts for them unavailable. In my opinion I find the 800s more reliable than the 900s even those 900s were my favorite hybrids. On the right side towards the back the small compartment door was vented out fully through which was another feature I liked if you all know what I’m talking about lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only DE40LF left is #905, once it gets hauled off soon the 900-series will be extinct as well, claiming victory of extinction of all 20 hybrids. This could be unrelated however this info is how many buses remain for each series until extinction. 500s: 526 and 544 - 2 buses left 800s: Extinct 900s: 905 - 1 bus left 4400s: - 1 left 4400 prototype 5300s: - 2 buses left (5454 and 5678) 6000s: - 11 left with 6163 included 6400s: - 40-45 left including the operable ones Will add the fishbowls later but as of now this is all I can quickly remember.

Bus1883 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Despite the blurriness here’s a short video I was very lucky enough to film watching the wrecker turning the corner out of the Boneyard with #805 being towed away. This was recorded back in April. IMG_8843.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
