Spotted in Bayport, TX at the Bayport Rail Terminal in July 2009 having been converted to LEAF genset configuration. Like the 103 and 106 conversions, the 2605 retains its battery vents on the long hood. Its status as a hybrid is not known at this time. Thanks to Douglas Hailey for the spotting information. |
