There are other 9800 series Gillig Phantoms in Bridgeport, with the same Cummins M11 engine, but with the Voith D863.3 transmission instead. Their 1998 Gillig fleet is split like that of TriMet's 2100 series Gillig Phantoms, of which only the last five use the Allison B400R.

I spotted a couple of them, but didn't ride them. I did an audio recording of this bus (not yet uploaded to SkyDrive, but will be soon).
