@Kote12TK The original engine in this bus was the 6V92TA engine....Back in like 2000 or something it was changed (repowered) to a DD50 EGR engine!

That's an awesome sound only when the air brake parking is push to drive or reverse just like the F.D.N.Y. trucks of 1997-2003 Seagrave Engines and Squads of the Detroit Diesel Series 50EGR only on the when the air parking break is Drive and Reverse
