A few from the early 1980's when Orion I's were king in Albany.
Also when a small group of Crown Ikarus artics hit the streets.

The Orion I is almost extinct from public transit service actually...only Sarnia, Ontario and Altoona, Pennsylvania still run small fleets of them to me knowledge.

I'm glad that CDTA 630 is still in reserve after all these years. It's the first 1984 Orion 1.
