Friday since I have no classes like last year, I will be going to New Castle, again, but this time specifically to ride the new Gillig BRT. I have seen it in downtown Pittsburgh around 5pm boarding commuters to go back towards New Castle.

Can't wait to see it in action when you make a video of it.

Cool, can you please upload some pictures to the New Castle Transit PTV photo gallery? It would be great to get more western systems in there!

Yikes. I changed a setting and I think you should be able to see the Albums (Gilligs and Orions) now. Beaver County is also available.

Please let me know what other galleries need to be created. I think we need something for Westmoreland and Washington County, right?

I am back from New Castle with the goods (photos in the gallery). On the ride to New Castle I got the BRT, so I did an audio recording of it, plus a video of it departing the transit center. In New Castle I recorded the Phantoms and Advantages, including the one 6v92 powered Phantom I saw. Saw no Orion 1's at all. Coming back rode an Advantage with me as the only passenger.

Awesome recording there. That 2010 Gillig BRT sounded great with Cummins ISL9 engine
