Capital Area Transit Purchases SEPTA Ikaruses

Capital Area Transit (CAT) of Harrisburg, PA has recently purchased several American Ikarus buses from SEPTA.  They were purchased about four months ago and were put into service his past week.  So far five buses are confirmed to be at or heading to Harrisburg.  They are being numbered in the 9600 series representing the year of the bus.  They are 5035 (9602), 5042 (9603), 5061 (9604), and 5073 (9605), with 5194 due to arrive in mid May.  It is not known at this time whether legendary SEPTA employee Tom Collins who works at CAT was involved in this purchase or not.
