And what I'm saying is, why would the MTA be interested in preserving a bus they never owned?

Given the messy breakup with Nassau County, I doubt there is anyone in the MTA bus operations group who has any interest in preserving a former Long Island Bus vehicle.

Actually I don't lol. D60HF ran pretty good with the EGR engines when I rode them, rode em a bunch of times on the BX12 SBS when they used them on that route and it was a fun ride.



Its just that those EGR engines are horrible in the Orion Vs for some reason, I remember 581 - 610 were slow pokes, it seem to vary in the RTS's, I had one of my greatest bus rides ever on 8420, it had a EGR but it ran great, it was hauling ass uphill with a full load on the hill in Park Slope and it flew though Prospect Park.

Had a another great ride on a repowered TMC on the Q35, which was funny as I expected the bus to trash but it ran great, I think it was 8393.

It doesn't work like that.
The Transit Museum, basically, doen't have any money to "save" buses.
They are realy N-O-T in the business of repairing or restoring them either.

Most of them are stored in a single transit garage in Manhattan.
When they are scheduled to come out some transit maintenance folks check them out (do they start, fluids, etc.).

Not that an Orion V CNG is comparable, but the MTA is preserving Bee-Line 611.

I mean, they own a TMC RTS-06 CNG. And i heard from the employee that this bus tank got replaced not long ago. So now they're compatible with CNG Buses. And if not then they could always go to spring creek where the great CNG maintance is.
