Caught this today while on my run....Look out Houston it's on the way. My camera never leave home without it, never know when you'll get that Kodac moment.

Very nice, Mark!  Where did you catch this one at?
Once all the goats are rounded up, the German tourists are extradited, and the syrup trucks are returned, you'll have to admit that you never saw that one coming.

Nice catch!  I once got lucky like this too about 5 years ago.  I had spotted two MARTA New Flyer C40LFs making a fuel stop in College Park, MD.  I was able to talk to one of the operators briefly.  He was saying that they had to take a longer route from MN to the Atlanta because there were no CNG stations along the more-direct routes.  Also interesting was that the operator was a MARTA bus operator.  Apparently, MARTA chooses to fly their employees to the factory to pickup the buses.

The bad part was that when I saw the buses it was night and cell phone cameras weren't very good.

Thanks for sharing.

I was at Walmart valley view at 6:45 and was hoping it was still there at my 8:45....and it was. The guy driving it said two were there but the first left at 06:00. We talked for a minute I took some more shots and I had to jet, worth being late though  ;D.

Excellent photos of what's coming to my hometown - Houston.  Both of those buses are part of an order of 100 hybrids from Orion.  A great number of them have already arrived and are in active service as we speak.  We have six bus garages here in Houston and here's who is getting what:

Kashmere=>5800-5819
West=>5820-5849
Polk=>5850-5879
Fallbrook=>5880-5899
