1991 New Flyer D60

Here's your opportunity to ride on a Translink New Flyer D60 (B3009) along one of the busiest corridor within the transit system - the 99 B-Line along Broadway! This bus is powered by a Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engine and an Allison HTB-748 transmission

[@blount_man]

Why cant buses be this good anymore

[@sebastienhenley9090]

Engine powored this bus it équipped with à Detroit Diesel 6V-92TAC 253hp transmission alison HTB-748B -3speed

[@blount_man]

@@sebastienhenley9090 I know that

[@TwinStickFilms]

Man these 2 strokes sound so natural on these buses!

[@1MTSRider]

Well sadly for me I got into the hobby with buses too late. Ive never ridden in a bus with a 6V92TA engine. What I have missed!!! If I could find one of these to ride somewhere, I would ride it all day.

[@blount_man]

I like transit alot when I was a kid but my hobby for buses didn't start until 2012.

[@blue9multimediagroup]

Good engines but they struggled when put into heavy buses. Bus had to be light for that engine to power, but it sounded hella good.

[@DARKNIGHT-525]

My hobby started in 2010

[@TheCRTman]

Oh I looooove this. It sounds just like samTrans 1990 NFI D60's and SF Muni's 1991 D60's.

[@KevinMeno2008]

TheCRTman AC Transit also with 1800-series D60s

[@TheCRTman]

Kevin Meno Yep, those were 1989 D60's. There seems to be 2 in LA at Transit Sales International.

[@marcusarline1720]

I was just about to say that to,
AC Transit

[@TheCRTman]

@Steven Darkins Yep. Apparently a couple still exist. Also a ton of AC Transit 1800's in Texas.

[@lifelong5425]

They were amazing to drive...used to get them on my 160's, and 98 B lines.

[@Busdude97]

NOW THIS IS WHAT A REAL DETROIT DIESEL NEW FLYER SOUNDS LIKE! Man I love these buses.

[@ea90744]

nutin like a 6v92 and an Allison HT transmission with a new flyer.omg

[@OttawaSouthGuy]

Infact I just was doing some research and apparently the D60s in Strathcona may have 6V92TA and B500R!!! (Strathcona is right outside Edmonton apparently)

[@busrailfan]

@newflyer3000 - old comment, but no, this bus does not have the Allison B400R, it has the older HTB-748 Allison transmission.

[@newflyerindustriesfan2216]

I love the D60HF's that MiWay Transit has. I'm an Ontario transitfan lol!

[@MetroLinerXLZ]

Either an Allison HTB-748 (as San Diego Transit has with their repowered D60's) or B500R.

[@MT0603]

Nice video, I prefer the sound of the 6V92TA with the ZF HP-500. I guess it's because I grew up riding MT's D60HFs which had that combo.

[@Geno2733]

Brings back memories when the buses here in Pittsburgh had these engines. They pulled most of 'em in favor of Hybrids now.

[@Dannny29]

i dont want thse to get retaired! thses buses are still good to use!

[@Mookie504]

I miss these buses. These buses are real with the Detroit diesel 6V92TA. (AC Transit) 1988 D35 2400-2428, D40 2500-2578 & 1989 New Flyer D60 1800-1829, (SamTrans) 1990 500-539 New Flyer D60 & (San Francisco Muni) 1991 New Flyer D60 9101-9124

[@BJC20199]

that bus sounded real good!

[@MrPennLiner]

this is music to my ears!

[@isakjohansson7134]

This bus is top teir

[@Busdude97]

@lpcmidst128 I agree with you. Thats why they are my favorite engine because the sound very exotic and unique instead of a series 60 for example. I also have asperger syndrome so I tend to obsess about certain things. Although I kinda like cummins engines too. They have a pretty cool sound.

[@garricksl]

Yes. This is good.

[@general682002]

Yes they are.

[@LESTERNIDOY]

this bus is currently in Richmond

[@cryo_life]

I like hi-floor buses

[@Busdude97]

@6V92TA Thats very true. I like cummins engines to but detroits are cooler.

[@general682002]

Nice video. Is there possible to ride a faster route on higher speed next time?

[@TranslinkOnRoblox]

Are these d60s still running

[@SumiTheTransitFan]

No, they are retired. They were retired 13 YEARS AGO.

[@AllianceB95]

This bus makes alot of RPM man that aint normal in The Netherlands

[@ajaytransitproductions]

I remember listening to this for the first time, I lost it at 1:44

[@daniel022209]

Well the Detroit Diesel era has ended in Philadelphia with the retirement of 200 40-foot New Flyers equipped with the DD Series 50 engine and Allison B500EGR transmission.

[@blount_man]

Cummins killed Detroit

[@daniel022209]

@@blount_man cummins suck. Detroit Diesel equipped with either a Allison or ZF added personality to a transit buses. These Cummins motors make you feel like youre boarding long yellow buses.

[@blount_man]

@@daniel022209 Exactly. I wish Detroit would make a come back to the transit market. The only Cummins I like in a bus wiuld be the ISM or ISB.

[@daniel022209]

@@blount_man i heard they still make engines but for motorcoaches unfortunately.

[@blue9multimediagroup]

@@daniel022209
Series 60 is alive, but modern buses are so heavy that the power rating wouldn't be worth the purchase.

[@OttawaSouthGuy]

lol an 6V92 and B500R would be wicked

[@OttawaSouthGuy]

Yeah but there is a problem about that bus with 6V92TA and B500R, it's retired. So that is not out of the question... =(

[@Busdude97]

@ShinHolyAyato If you listen to a detroit diesel and a cummins you can hear a difference.

[@busrailfan]

Wouldn't that be the Allison HTB-748 and not the Allison B400R5 ?

[@newyorkfan16]

Probably Allison B400R.

[@Busdude97]

@Dalek0122 Whats wrong with the sound of a 6v92?

[@ShinHolyAyato]

is this bus powered by cummins ISL 330 HP?

[@blue9multimediagroup]

Not sounding like that it ain't.

[@blue9multimediagroup]

Cummins don't whine.
They grumble.

[@josephnyy86]

Wait, what did I say again that made my comment had a -7?

[@WMATAvids]

they copied wmata!!!

[@blue9multimediagroup]

How?
They weren't the only ones using 6v92s in buses.

[@josephnyy86]

I hate this sound!

[@josephnyy86]

oh yeah! well, it does sound rather ugly :\

[@blue9multimediagroup]

It's an old worn out bus so yeah, it's gonna sound rough.
