DETROIT DIESEL 6V71/6V92 MEGA COMPILATION -- 4 minutes of roaring 2-stroke buses in Calgary, AB (HD)

Too bad 2 strokes aren't around NOW, they could drown out noisy people talking on cell phones.

[@TIJoe-te9qu]

And the nasty modern music too.

[@theeecandlemaker2197]

I talk on my phone on the bus and dont give a darn!

[@charlesmarcus7864]

I can cry right now. Thank you for bringing back some of the sounds of my childhood. Haven't seen these since the 1990s

[@Mr.Ratchet]

It's nice to see old buses still in service

[@reza121du]

They are not

[@iarp4965]

These clips are from 2012-14 (read description) by 2013-14 pretty much all of these buses were gone.

[@enolamsamoht]

I never realized low floor buses also were powered with those engines too.

[@darnell899]

Me neither.

[@michaelflores2318]

Sure were

[@michaelflores2318]

AMC also made city buses back in the day but didn't see too many Saw mostly GMC buses

[@matthewsvideos8235]

I think the two strokes were available in a D40LF until 1994 when it was replaced by the rattly series 50.

[@warrenthomson1079]

Yes! The first low floors were the last buses powered by Detroit 2-strokes in Calgary.

[@reboot_2.00]

That sound is what I miss most from my transit driving days. What I don't miss is when a turbo quits as you're entering an underpass.

[@42luke93]

Watched the junk yard crawl and heard about these busses. Interesting sound.

[@amberselectronics]

Just blew my mind, had no idea the buses I was riding in 10 years ago had those motors in them still

[@TheSalvation2027]

The heaters in the back worked wonders on a cold day and a long trip

Tomorrow , It's still thur here@@ticky2586 how did you get so many subscribers ?

[@bDz416]

I remember always loving the sounds of these buses 🔙 when they were commissioned as TTCs within Toronto and specifically adored whenever they would full sail it because the buses engines always ended up sounding as if they were going to explode! 🤯

[@darnell899]

I can't take it! This is how REAL buses sounded back then. These newer ones don't sound like nothin.

[@michaelflores2318]

These city buses were GMC and made in Pontiac MI

[@darnell899]

@Oswaldo Zuniga Why you say that?

[@bDz416]

Ofc the newer ones won't since most of them are electrified now lol

[@kalvinlabuik3366]

I miss that sweet screamin Jimmy sound around the city of the buses

[@northernalberta]

I lived in Calgary 10 years in the 2000’s, rode the bus all the time and have NO recollection of them sounding like race cars.

[@eddavis8096]

REAL buses right here

[@busrailfan]

Very nice compilation!! Man that brings back the memories of what seems like only a year or two ago!

[@alpzepta]

@@dianawillemsen6341 don’t lie girl don’t scheiße lol

[@cjolney]

@@alpzepta and they all sound ass compared to the 2 strokes. Also worth noting brand new 2 stroke detroits are still being assembled somewhere in the world for generators and construction equipment. When engine platforms die off like that usually the company will destroy their casts and tooling, but I think detroit sold theirs to someone in another country. Or they were given to a company for scrap and not properly disposed of. I'm fine with either

[@369Bandido]

Well gang. At 39, that is Theee first D40 Low Floor with a 2 stroke anything that ive seen in Motion!😂😂😂. Flew into BC in 93, parked. Saw one at JFK in 99, Parked.

[@jtteamer5369]

Go Detroit BABY!!!!

[@danielduffy4134]

Beautiful, and why don’t we still make and use them?!!! Just like the Old Ramcharger SUV’s

[@PatTheRovingBrakeman]

Are there any 2 stroke diesel transit buses being used in Calgary? Or have they all been retired now.

[@bDz416]

All done.

I was looking for this comment 👍best sounding engine in the world, and it's from a fucking bus lmfaooooo

[@DARKNIGHT-525]

@@JJC991I know is the first low floor bus to have an 6v92 engine and the transmission still sounds the same as all the other Detroit diesel engines or Cummins engines

[@stevemino142]

How can you say these buses have been long retired if this video is from 2012 to 2014? Thats yesterday

[@skinnylee2]

@@stevemino142 Since when is 10-12 years ago considered anything remotely resembling “yesterday”??

[@bDz416]

[@michaelflores2318]

Pontiac MI made GMC buses

[@mark_p300]

Being that the video is from Canada, all the buses in it were built at the GM Diesel Division plant in London, Ontario. 😉

[@michaelflores2318]

Not all some were made in Pontiac Mi
