Detroit Diesel Series 50G

Recorded Aug 20, 2015
It seems now that the end for most of GCT 40-LFWs has come. New buses from Gillig arrived just shortly after I moved here to Ventura on Aug 10. Saw first single Gillig #4045 and knew the end for the Series 50G was at hand.
While waiting for bus to go home from work Aug 20, the next arriving bus was a C40LFR. I decided to pass on it and see what the next bus would be. Saw #4008 going other direction shortly after, so I knew I would get that one. Thankfully I waited and got not only the ride on #4008, but a video on this bus as well. Sadly after this days ride I never saw #4008 again, and now a month plus later, am hard pressed to find any NABIs with the DD Series 50G. Bleeecchhh on those Gilligs.
Of interest in video:
at 4:47 listen to the interaction of sound between the Series 50G and Allison, at 8:00 while at a time point, driver puts bus into high idle.
