Look who's back at the 240 Street yard. Not the best pic, but I was on the damn train when I took this pic.

True. Tuskegee Airmen sent out 5616 and 6770 as well. Then again, this was NO rush hour priority.

I was pissed when I saw #902 on the B43 today because I was on the damn Shuttle. I was running late so I decided not to chase it. It always looks like the B43 has some old C40LF's running everyday.

It looked like it was done at the last moment because earlier in the afternoon, there was nothing but R160's and a couple of R32's on the .

Its been there for a while. I saw it earlier in the afternoon.

Today I saw 2 different sets of R160's on the besides the 5 that were already on the

1891-1895 and 2236-2240 are back at the 240 St yard. They are still signed up as a train.

6171 at KB from Castleton.

R46's already on the

9871 was there in the afternoon around 2:26 P.M. Why do you ask?

For my recap of the Metro North Shuttle bus, here's what I got: College Point sent out Orion V CNG #9871, some C40LF's, and some D4500CL's Michael J.Quill sent out RTS', Next Gens, and a few Nova LFSA's including ones used for their SBS Jamaica sent RTS #4936 Queens Village sent out some D4500CT's Gun Hill sent out Next Gens Kingsbridge sent out D60HF's, XD60's, Next Gens, and a Orion V West Farms sent out only C40LF's Fresh Pond came with some Next Gens Jackie Gleason came with new C40LF's East New York had an RTS, but left. Grand Avenue had a Next Gen running Hell, LaGuardia had a D4500CL running for a while Sorry if I gave too much information.

Don't jump to conclusions just yet. Anything can happen with the swap at this time.

6788 from Tuskegee Airmen is back at Manhattanville. Saw it on the M2 earlier today.

I had the return trip on 9918. I got on at 6:40 P.M and stayed until Flushing. I thought someone mentioned that 9836 was on the Q39 earlier today. That's why I went to Queensboro Plaza today.

I finally got an unlimited ride Metrocard for the week, so I had to take advantage of it. I wanted to see the 5000's though.

So I saw three Orion V CNG's today, but I rode two of them. This is what I found: 9871 on the Q69 9905 originally on the Q67, but switched to a Q39 9918 on the Q19 which is the route I would LEAST expect to find an Orion V CNG running at this time. Also, RTS 9005 looks very good after it got repainted. It kept the black back which wasn't touched during the repaint. This day was very good for me.

260-265 were given back to Jackie Gleason and they sent 320-324 to West Farms in exchange.

For the record, that is NOT 5610 because 5610 is in the new scheme and its at 126 Street depot. The video doesn't clearly show the number, but it might be 5615.

Today the current 5 R160 sets on the all popped up in a row. That meant 5 consecutive R160 Trains and the rest were R32's.

Also 7716, 7799, and 7807 are in the new scheme.

7696, 7773, and 7774 have been repainted.

A lot got wrapped already like 5778 and 5780. Some like 5788 are not wrapped, but will be by this weekend. I'm expecting 5770-5789 to be wrapped for the Bx41 +SBS.

Those sets have full width cabs front and back so no railfan window on those sets either.

I saw 3813 on the M60 earlier this morning. Does the M60 have rush hour trippers from MJQ?

3877 is in the new scheme. Spotted it on the M31 earlier this morning.
