Fairview Transit 2001-2005

The current units for Fairview Transit 2000-2005 are 2002 Orion VII (07.501) "OG" diesel units, with Detroit Diesel engines and are the test units for coded displays. They were originally numbered 3000-3005 before these units were repainted into the new livery. These units were introduced in September 2017 and most are still are in service. However, with Generation 4, these are to be retired and replaced with new models. It is unknown if any of the second generation VIIs are to be preserved.

History
The original 2000-2005 can be traced back to the first Orion VI, 2000. This unit, a 1997 model was the first one to use keyboard controls in ROBLOX. Once the agency switched chassis, 2000 was reborn as a 1996 model and is now referred to as 2001. 2001-2005 were renumbered as 1000-1004 while the OGs were moved to this numbering format with the change in numbering assignments.

Powertrain: Detroit Diesel Series 50/Allison B400R5.
