Classics - Yes Or No |
|
|
Posted by Mr. D - Type on Tue Sep 11 08:39:17 2007 Have not heard any news on this for a while. Did any classics return to Spring Creek ? What is picking up the slack while all those Orion V CNG`S get painted ? |

All the MCI Classics in the reserve fleet are still in Eastchester. They have had work done to them and are ready for service when needed. It is questionable if they will ever go back in service. My information is from an EXCELLENT source with great knowledge. |

Have they been sending RTS`S on the express lines ?They've put an Orion VII on an express route at least once. I guess they ran out of MCIs or something like that. |

Currently almost all of the classics were retired but a select few have been chosen for a reserve fleet and as training but thats about it. They will not run in revenue service again. |

Too dark and cramped inside, especially if you were "lucky" enough to ride one with a full adwrap.I miss the GMC RTSs more than I miss the Classics. |
