Toronto Transit Commission 1997-98 OBI Orion Vl CNG 06.501 #9200-9449 series were (powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) built and delivered in 1997-98 year. 

The rear wheels cause the series to be grounded from service from September 1998 to February 1999

Due to problems, they were quite out of service from late December 2003- 2004 to January they returned to service.

Incidents of two fleets were the first to retire since 2004

#9243 fell off the hoist at Wilson Division, 
#9244 caught fire at Wilson division

The Vl CNG series spent their entire lives at one garage, Wilson Division, from 1998-2006 for 8 years.

First Appearance February 9, 1998, First Day of Service with 9200-9249 series

Last Appearance Thursday, November 30, 2006
Cause/Reason: All the series retired due to difficulties converting them to diesel and could lose the wheelchair position, leading to the end of the finale (Compressed Natural Gas). The CNG era is no more.

Toronto Transit Commission no longer uses Compressed Natural Gas for good after 16 years of controversy over the tank leaks, which caused them to be grounded from service.
