Na het ritje naar Arnhem-goederen reed de 1510 door naar Maarn, waar sinds afgelopen zondag al de gecombineerde ombouwtrein/kettinghor RU 800 van Swietelsky stond opgesteld. Helaas hield de zonstand rond lunchtijd niet over bij De Klomp toen de iets vertraagde 44783 (Mrg-Em) getrokken door de 1510 met gematigde snelheid de fotograaf passeerde. Helaas was de retourtrein (met Kirow-kraan) dermate vertraagd dat deze niet meer met daglicht zou passeren...
The final in-service run of a Rapid Transit Series (RTS) bus, number 5241, along the M55 route on Mon., May 6, 2019. Nearly 4,900 of these buses were ordered by New York City Transit between 1981 and 1999. The retirement of these diesel-powered buses, a familiar sight on city streets since their first pilot test in 1979, brings us closer to our vision of a greener, zero-emissions fleet.
Darryl Irick, MTA Bus Company President and NYCT SVP of Buses, drove the RTS bus out of the Michael J. Quill Depot. Both Irick and his father were Transit bus operators who drove the "Big Blues and Whites" during their careers.

The business ends of five TMC RTS buses of LA Metro (four 1992 and one 1989 model), retired and waiting in Long Beach for disposal.

One of many old RTS' the MBTA continues to rely on despite the 20+ year age. Several seem to be going quite strong, though many of the MBTA examples do look noticeably less kept than their peers still working for the MTA in New York. In any case, I expect them to last for another few years at least.
De spoorvernieuwingswerken eindigden vlak voor de grote brug over de Beneden-Merwede. Voor de aan- en afvoer van dwarsliggers naar de imposante machine werd door Swietelsky de RTS1457 ingezet, die tegenwoordig weer in de fabriekskleuren en logoloos rondrijdt. Na passage van een grote wolkenpartij kon de RTS1457 worden vastgelegd in een gesluierd zonnetje op de eerste septemberdag van 2013 met aan de haak de RU800 van Swietelsky terwijl de Baanhoekbrug werd gepasseerd.

Quality workmanship. My RTS is finally complete. New skins from Hugo Studio (Custom Camera Covers) and this classy half-case from TP Original (Martin Duke Shop on Etsy). The color is "volcano" and I like the contrast between the vivid tan and the black.

I've removed the original leatherette (if you want to call it that). Yashica used a rather different material to cover the RTS.

Designed by General Motors in the mid-1970s, the RTS bus still looks sleek and modern nearly 40 years later. Reno is among the places still using RTS's, but their numbers are dwindling fast everywhere.

Built as an American transit bus, this GMC RTS found a second life in Tijuana, Mexico as a school bus.
I´m not sure if it is cranes but I think so. I saw them coming so I had to be quick and change to the 135mm lens but I was a little too late. This image is cropped.
