I absolutely cannot figure out why that Orange faded so bad, I also loved that color. While I do understand Clearwater's switch out of necessity, I don't understand White over Red; go from a unique color, to something everyone else uses.

i agree but if you look at pinellas park they have been transitioning out of the white over yellow to just red, i love the unusual colors. the oranges really stood out to me baltimore, clearwater, two of my favorite!!!!!

I remember being out at the Pierce factory in the late 90's and they had a bunch of trucks being built. They were wrapped in plastic so that they didn't get scratched as they were assembled.

The German Red is VERY susceptible to UV paint fade. Couple that with the initial cost of the color along with resale value, and it was probably likely an easy choice for their leadership.

Fairfax County, VA tested out the German Red on a few rigs.....wasn't well liked but didn't seem to have faded quite as much as the Clearwater rigs.

Well i just got back in town yesterday from spending a week in Clearwater. I visited quite a few stations and the last of the orange and white rigs are gone!!!! But i was able to get some photos of the rigs and station 45's new quarters.
