1:57 I love the sound of the howl when it slows down than speeds up.

[@busboy67]

Oh yes! Good old classic MAN axles! They sound so good! Its like music to my ears! Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

[@STO_1601]

19 YEARS OLD AND STILL RUNS GOOD!!!!

I wonder why did ETS did not pick a New Flyer D40lf (1998-1999) with a Detroit Diesel Series 50 ?

[@NeoTesla]

Chuck Camarce Films Yea man! The series 50 is a awesome engine. But at least this bus has nice MAN axles even though it has a Cummins ISC in it but it’s still a great sounding bus

[@MTA3306]

You sure this bus has a C8.3? We have ISLs that sound exactly the same, except they were made almost a decade later.

[@OregonTransitFan]

yes I can tell this has an ISC. ISL sounds similar

[@midnapoonovabuslfsfan541]

Replying six years later, it is an ISC you can tell by the idling.

[@CTTPhotos]

We still have 1993s in Calgary. :P

+KigoTransit Nice

[@dennishampton6477]

how many of the 98s are still in service?

[@STO_1601]

Only 4086 retired so far (FIRE).

[@MassivePanda1991]

Dennis Hampton most of them are retired, there are only a handful of them left :/

[@danielh.9310]

please, MTA has 1995-1996 buses

[@carlgags]

They sound like Detroit diesel series 50

[@sonicboy678]

Not really.

[@chuckcamarcefilmsstudios3801]

carlgags Sounds like the series 50 to me but very little, it sounds more like the Cummins ISC to me

[@TransitSpotlight]

@KylTransit It for sure is a C8.3. Idle sounds very much like the ISCs we have in Calgary.
