I remember the Phantoms from when I was there last, but nothing else. Nice work on the photos as usual.

Great photos! It definitely looks more interesting than when I visited in 2006.

Metro Transit's new paint scheme looks cheap, for lack of a better word. It's passable on the D60LFR, although just barely. It looks absolutely terrible on the Phantom, though. I wish they'd just stuck with the old blue stripe...

On the other hand, the SouthWest Gillig looks great -- it reminds me of FREX in Colorado a bit.

Awesome shots! Nice to see what is going on up in an area that really isn't covered that much (despite being quite interesting)!

And this land here, is what we call, "Gillig Country".

Nice photos!
