I wish I could drive one of these someday
It was a very nice experience to get to drive that bus, Andrew! Great memories. Glad to see this video
6V92TA? awesome detroit 2 stroke motors!
I love them!
Another transit organization that used these Gillig Phantom buses was Capital Metro in Austin Texas from 1985 to 1995. What an old time nostalgia, along with the old time Armadillo Buses that went to UT Austin, Downtown Austin, and Zilker Park.
I like filling busses
Awesome!!
I remember that bus.
it was nice!
Good morning Dieselducy
hi.
I grew up taking VTA to school in Palo Alto and they normally used Phantoms or Gillig Low Floors for the school trip routes. I always preferred the phantoms! They rode a lot smoother than the low floors. Sometimes if we were lucky they'd send one of their fancy newer Gillig Express Hybrids with WiFi onboard, or a 60' New Flyer. Since Gillig is from the Bay Area they're quite a common sight around here, though the SFMTA (San Francisco) seems to favor New Flyer.
As I understand it the original Gilliig plant is in Russell City (now part of Hayward) CA.
Apparently it has relocated at some point to Livermore, CA.
Rock Region Metro (before then Central Arkansas Transit) used to have a Gillig phantom. Now they have the newer Gillig's that uses natural fuel.
I remember seeing one downtown once.
Wish I could be on it again
Have you rode it?
@@DieselDucy yes. When I was a kid
wouldnt mind checking the bus out
sounds like a Voith gearbox is it?
Most likely. Dunno WTF was up with Gillig and their love for Voith transmissions
Yea, I can tell just by sound it’s a Voith. Our old Low Floor Gilligs have them. They’re good transmissions, very smooth, but they’re complicated and there’s not a lot of shops (in my area at least) who know how or are willing to work on them.
Wonderful ol Gillig.! My local transit company had these for a while, replaced with New Flyer XDE35s and XDE40s unfortunately, our Gilligs have been retired for about four years now, sitting to rot.
Series 40?
The gillig advantage is my favorite
I can see an ALF Century Midmount in the beginning
More of these videos
I love gilligs
My state has gillig phantoms, but they're getting retired
@Oscar membreno yep ik
Hmm can you make it speak road signs? Like School Street or Widow Avenue
Nice, but those trains look even more interesting
Oue last gillig Phantom retired from service last summer, as we now have low floors and hybrids
Mountain Line in Missoula still uses Phantoms.
I’ve always wanted to convert a bus like that into a motor home of sorts. But I wonder how it would do on the highway?
Stop at a bus stop and operate a route, LOL
Is there a such thing as a Westinghouse impulse I found an elevator in Atlanta end it has impulse buttons but it’s labeled Westinghouse
That’s an awesome bus. Are they free?
F
I drive a fuel bus
What year is this bus?
