That's a nice photo, Jeff..I especially like the snow covered hoods.

[Jeff]

Thanks tatum.  I'll probably post one or two more. 

[tatum]

Are those buses used daily? It looks like the snow has sorta been pushed around them.

[Jeff]

They are Manchester's spares.  A couple of the other Crowns (19 & 20) are still used in daily service I believe.

[Dunnster]

Well those two Crowns are spares at least. The Carpenter and the Blue Bird are no longer used.

[Jeff]

I like the fact that they kept the Carpenter for a maintenance bus.  I see it rolling around every once in a while.

[02intlbluebird]

This one looks like it got stranded in the crazy D.C. storm that hit that area.





I have been watching the news for a week now and they said the same event that happened in D.C. is supposed to hit us tomorrow but the biggest parts will be in Massachusetts and Conneticut. At the moment, I am in the 5-9 inch range.

[Cameron Morgan]

WOW!! Glad I do not live there anymore. But there is NO snow here

[Jeff]

The snow just won't stop falling here.  We're supposed to get another 5-8 tonight into tommorrow.



Jackson's old band bus.  It was just replaced by the new one.  which is a 90's Carpenter International.

[Cameron Morgan]

I found a few pics on my phone from last year.

[tatum]

It may be just me, but I don't see any pictures.

[bluebirdvision]

I see lil red Xs

[Cameron Morgan]

Anyone else? I see them perfect.

[tatum]

A view from IE:



Another view from Google Chrome:

[Cameron Morgan]

I really hate when that happens.

[tatum]

Upload your photos to a hosting site (Imageshack, Photobucket, Picasa) and then paste the URL code inside the code brackets.
 

[Kodie]

I dont even see the little red X's, I see nothing.

[Carpenter207]

It's because the pictures he's trying to link to are on his e-mail account (or so it appears). If he can upload them to a photo sharing site, we'll be able to see them.

This is interesting... a ramp for the emergency exit? Nice paint job, but I'd prefer black wheels.

[tatum]

^I hate to see buses in wrecks or that have caught on fire, but it's even worse to see a bus full of immobile kids get involved in an accident. The ramp is an easy way out.

What's more interesting is are the new switches on the old panel, I hated the old Thomas switches, just because they were so ugly, the new switches make a world of difference. The ramp is probably retrofit, but a good idea for a wheelchair bus.

If I'm correct, I think this guy uploaded the evidence to his own crime?

[Cameron Morgan]

lol, nice gillig otherwise!

[tatum]

Here's a cool photo I have of a Crown SuperII at Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California.

[Jeff]

Updated yard shot of my fleet.  All route buses minus special ed buses are seen.

[08 Thomas EF]

^ That's a nice-looking Thomas closest to you in the first picture! Reminds me of Durham's that comes to my school.

[Jeff]

Thanks Eric, I was just going to post a pic of her sister bus 7.

[bluebirdvision]

Nice fleet Jeff

[INTERNATIONAL]

i like that IC CE  but i don't like where the IC logo is placed it looks better over the door

[Carpenter207]

A few shots from today. These are buses that I've shot before and are already in the SBC database, but I thought I'd get some different angles than the generic "roster shots" that I already uploaded.

[08 Thomas EF]

LOVE the angle of that first shot, Adrian! Hate how that cross arm looks, though....

Those IC FEs look like they could have come from CT. Those cross arms are exactly like the retrofits we have on our AmTran FEs, TC2000s, and '04 CE, so maybe those FEs were bought without cross arms and retrofitted when CT required them to be. But, I'm not sure if that's what the stalk stock (did it again!) cross arm was like for that bus. But it also has the "Cap. 77" (71?) beside the door, just like ours do. The only thing I'm skeptical about is the warning light visors; we normally have individual visors, but all the '05 + ICs have double ones.

[bluebirdvision]

Adrian!!!!!!! :D:D:D

[Kodie]

The rear bumper on those visions is very odd! And those IC FE's look fairly new, even for being a couple years old.

[bluebirdvision]

The Vision looks like it has a "bubble butt"

[Jeff]

In the spirit of track season I'll post a pic from our NBC league meet from a couple years ago.



From Right to Left...Canton Local 5, Northwest 4, Alliance 23, Louisville 3 & 36, and Minerva 23 (not pictured) There were buses from 3 other schools not pictured as well.

[Kodie]

Here's a couple from my yard. I have hundreds of pics, but here's just a few from a couple weeks ago:




The back of the bus that was in the accident, after the grille was removed:





2 of 3 new IC RE's.


I'll avoid flooding the rest of the topic

[Carpenter207]

Those IC FEs look like they could have come from CT.

They are indeed from CT. They are the ones that came in from Voluntown several months ago. They've been on the lot for a while. There were three, but today I only saw two. Don't know if that means they finally sold one, or if it's just in the garage. They are 2005s.

[08 Thomas EF]

Right, I forgot about that, Adrian.... Thanks for clarifying!

[Greg Faulkner]

Here's a few of our First Student Bus Yard. Taken from the rail trail that runs along the back fence.

[IC_cruiser2804]

Awesome CE jeff! I do hate the new mirrors IC uses, they look really cheap!

[Kodie]

The new mirrors on the IC's are fantastic. Drivers absolutely love them.

[Jeff]

Awesome CE jeff! I do hate the new mirrors IC uses, they look really cheap!

Those double nickel mirrors are on every bus in my fleet.  Our drivers really like them.

I caught this new CE on I-71 on a trip to Columbus today.  I seen about 7 New York spec'd buses making their way up north from the IC plant to the dealers.  This may not be the best picture but its ok considering I was going 65 mph down the highway 

[bluebirdvision]

I find it funny that Atlantic Express is buying IC now. For reasons I can't explain LOL

[08 Thomas EF]

That picture is amazing, Jeff! The rear mud flaps are pushed back, but the wheels like they're not turning at all (no blurriness)! The only thing that really gives it away is the blurry pavement. What kind of camera do you have... were you using a motion setting?

[Jeff]

Thanks Eric.  (Your Eric right?)    I just lined myself up with the bus and snapped the photo.  I use a kodak easy share C643 camera and it works just fine for me, nothing fancy.  The look on the driver's face was priceless by the way.

[08 Thomas EF]

Good job, yes, I'm Eric!

Ahh, so the driver caught you stalking their bus?

[Jeff]

Eh I like being a smartass sometimes.    But yeah the dude driving kinda gave me that wtf!? look.  I should have taken a pic of his face too.

[bluebirdvision]

I usually am wearing something Blue Bird or NYBS, so they don't ask questions.....
