2811 at 1:23 retired in December 2013 and had a bad transmission at auction, so you have one of the few films of it in its final year of existence. 2805 at 9:28 also retired in December 2013 and was auctioned on 6/28/2014 with mechanical issues. It got scrapped down in Socal around or 2015. Sweet catch of 8035 at 1:45 and 7:09. 8045 at 2:22 retired in December 2013 and got scrapped in March 2014. 8037 at 8:59 retired in October 2014 and was a non-runner sadly. CCW bought it for parts at the auction in December 2014. I am loving your rare NABI films!! It's funny how you said 7035 was a dead coach, because it is literally dead now (scrapped in 2015).
+TheCRTman That 2013 trip was my first trip ever to the Bay Area, and I did it without doing any advance homework on what was running out there, beyond knowing of the Neoplan, Orion, and the Skoda-ETI coaches. So when I saw the older stuff... I started looking out for those more. Wish I'd realized most of it would be gone before I made my 2014 trip. I figure coming back in 2017 when more of the Xcelsiors and maybe some of the new Siemens LRV's are on hand... not to mention the first of the new BART cars...
trainman1971 You came at a good time since all of the awesome old equipment was still running, (except for the very few 1991 New Flyer D60's). Phantoms retired at 20 years old by Dec. 2013, the NFI E60's retired at 21 years old in Jan. 2015 and the 1999 NABI's haven't been completely retired yet. Half of the fleet was auctioned in 2013-2014 and the other half still remains for training only. Yeah, a lot is going to change in a couple years sadly (in my case). Brand new Xcelsior artics have been flooding in since last year.
Good catch on the nabis and new flyer e60s were my favorite buses
Good catch on 7031 the only orange e60
And the clips I uploaded here are not even half of it.... the entire video ran almost 8 hours....
Good catch on 8045 on the 47 going to the wrong direction
