Have a 5300 series Advantage with DD50/ZF uploading and an ISL/Voith Advantage to upload after. Pitt has slow internet in the dorms, so it is taking a long time. |

I thought the 5400s have ZF and the 5300s Allison? The 5300s are part of the 2003 order which was 5201-5365. And the 2005s as DD50/Zf which are 5401-5460. |

I am wrong, it is a 5200. Edited by Jayayess1190, Jan 20 2010, 08:21 PM.

Today I caught one of the few runs of the 61C that has a DD50 Neoplan An460. They are so much quieter than Septa's on the inside, likely due to the suburban configuration. Also took the 47S all the way out to South Hills Village Mall leaving the 42L to Library my last light rail ride to explore. Have videos to soon be uploaded. |

Got a ride on a hybrid today, this was one of the older 2005' and not one of the new 09's that are painted green. Has a completely different sound than Septa's DE40LF's, and the Cummins ISB is quieter than the ISL in the beluga whales. Have video of it to be uploaded soon. In the morning I am going out to see if I can get a ride and good recording of a Neo AN345, and on Friday and headed out to Mckeesport to try and ride a DD50 AN460 back into the city.

I am back. Rode 3058 for over an hour from Mckeesport to Oakland. Also 8650 (a 29ft. Mid Bus STV) on the 60A. Mckeesport reminds me of Camden, NJ, two small ghetto cities that sit in the shadow of a larger city. Except Camden has more fun (the aquarium, the waterfront is nicer, Campbell's Field) things to do. And it has the NJT Riverline and the Patco. And PAT's Neo AN460's with the DD50 are less exciting than Septa's. Despite all the suburban configuration comforts, the engine sounds are weak. I have recordings of course, to be uploaded soon. 8650 was one of these: ![]() And 3058 which I rode on the 67J:

This evening I got to ride 2009 hyrbid 5710 twice on Rt.26A. The hybrids have Cummins ISB and Allison hybrid drives. Also rode two ISL/Voith Advantages, one of them being 5660 which I have video of. |

My Ride on hybrid #5710. Towards the end you can hear the Cummins ISB kick in really good.

I may come up to Pittsburgh in mid June when the weather is warm. Possibly staying in a Super 8. More likely not the one by the Airport since it looks kinda weird with the front desk on the third floor instead of the first. But I dont know if that would change the fact I commonly get thrown on the first floor when staying in a hotel. So I may stay at either Harmarville or Monroeville when I come to Pittsburgh this June. Unless I stay at another hotel like Travelodge. |

Major snow! I got some light rail video, plus bus photos from the snow storm. Will be uploaded as soon as I dry off. Started snowing after 12pm, is still snowing now! I love Pittsburgh, the city is beautiful (and very treacherous) under a blanket of snow
