Miss those Orion 5’s. We had 30,35,40ft’rs at Whatcom Transit Authority in Bellingham WA. They all had Cummins M11. Was disappointed when they came without the Detroit 50’s

[@milestone_achiever4634]

I know something about the Cummins M-11. Those sound like semi trucks. The best sound ever. At least we had that particular enginein the Flixible Metro B buses from New Jersey transit

[@milestone_achiever4634]

The Cummins M-11 is a actually a much more appealing engine because it sounds like a semi truck. I always loved them.

Imagine this engine was available for School Buses

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@milestone_achiever4634]

They would have to have a longer hood to fit that engine. A Series 50 is much bigger and heavier than a turbo diesel

I miss these so much! Please, Please, Please take great care of this bad boy. These are getting increasily rare by the year, especially DD50 versions!

[@ThatOneLT1]

We’ll try to keep it in good condition It needs a bit of work come spring time And the driver windshield has since been cracked from a rock chip

[@knightclassic1]

Why leaning towards the Back like a Lincoln Town Car. Other than that, NICE ORION!!!

[@SunsetChaser300]

I never expected this from you LT!

[@ThatOneLT1]

Ikr! I've taken a liking to this bus. We are going to restore it this spring! It's actually a very special and rare bus.

[@milestone_achiever4634]

Beeline had these same buses. Same sound!!!!

[@ClearSignalJDMan]

Damnnnn thats one beautiful Orion. I enjoy that detroit diesel engine, also what happened to its side on the driver side its like touching the ground did something collapse to do that? @1:15

[@ThatOneLT1]

The air suspension doesn’t work properly on this bus It occasionally does bottom out hard Since this video was recorded the bottom lift panel folded in on itself and the driver windshield was cracked from a rock chip

[@ClearSignalJDMan]

@@ThatOneLT1 Damn that sucks hope you guys will be able to repair it, Or even give it a nice new paint on it.

[@ThatOneLT1]

@@ClearSignalJDMan it’ll get some good work done in the spring time
