NYCT Bus | 1998-99 OBI Orion 05.501 Review

This is my REUPLOAD from May 2019 !
These Orion Vs were NYCT's last Orion V order in it's history. Though they had a mild controversy, they spread fanny Orion pride through many routes of Staten Island, Queens, Upper Manhattan, Bronx, and my home borough of Brooklyn.
Being built since 1998, might make them a futuristic Orion V. They impress me with D60HF pride feeling, by the debatable engine combination, MAX3000 signage, and a roof exhaust. I didn't like these and other Orion Vs until they were retired, and never noticed them missing. In 2013, it was the best year where I rode one on the B47, and they came to Grand Ave Depot for my residents of Brooklyn. And I quite enjoyed seeing these buses on the B47, during my middle school years. Even at Eastchester Depot, they got in conjunction with their cousins from Westchester County. In fact, their cousins are more fortunate than these 1999 NYCT buddies. Plus, ENY had #6325 as their 2nd driven Orion V on their route since 1990 with a demo Orion V. Until 2015, these Orion V were starting their retirement due to to exceeded life span of structural failures. Thereby, the 2015/2016 New Flyer Xcelsior XD40s and Novabus LFS' came to NYC to replace them to scrap. By November 2016, these Orion Vs were officially retired and it was the end of the Orion V era. Best thing yet, #6326 is preserved in the museum fleet.
