At one time someone told me 1990 Gillig suburban 45ft F1063 was being preserved at Arcadia Yard as historic bus I don't know if it's still there. If it is that bus is around 30 years old. The 1000s were the first especially built for Los Angeles services. They ran on line 480 alot back in the 90s

OCTA 1997 New Flyer D40LF #5401 will retire to remove the blue “OCTA” logo, “Orange County Transportation Authority”, and all the Paint scheme on the exterior to make it blank at General Auction Company after that this fleet number of OCTA 1997 New Flyer D40LF unit will sold to LA Charter Bus Lines to drive around at LAX Airport.

I looked around some official documents and most of the gilligs, and 2006 NABIs were scrapped. Most of which had all their paint removed completely or the interiors were in very poor condition. The engines also were busted as well. The reason these Gilligs ended up in San Diego, is because they were used in a college's diesel tech program as test units I believe

Gillig Suburban to be exact F1050 one of 63 i believe 1995 or so used to be used on line 480 Montclair Transit center to Los Angeles Wilshire and Union St retired before being cut to west Covina Mall these buses are 20 years old now. Considering we now have 3100s we're Way past 1000

0:52 - you can see smoke billowing out of the cab on that last unit. Must've been an absolutely awful working environment. Anyone have any experience in that situation? 2:25 - the side window is absolutely covered in soot! (unless it's trail only or something) Absolutely wild. This footage is fantastic! Were these oil trains particularly heavy?

I read in Diesel Era magazine how the Southern Pacific would order them new with all the bells and whistles but then run them into the ground. It got so bad that EMD had to threaten SP to void the warranties. But that is part of what made SP so interesting to me!
