Kingsbridgeviewer382

So I have to file a complaint..

 

Me, and some family members were waiting for the S46 at Castleton & Broadway a few moments ago and the bus came, but he completely flagged the stop. Had no intention of stopping at all and there was no one on the bus at all.

 

How do I go and file a report about this cuz that pissed us off completely

 

Run 2 on the S46 bus 7065

Call 511 if you like to complain, but I don't know how the MTA will respond to that.

4722 is on the Bx41 SBS. That didn't take long, did it?

The Xcelsior Artics have been popping up on the Bx41 +SBS since early July so you're kind of late. Besides, the Bx12+SBS uses them (Gun Hill's batch) so it wouldn't be a surprise if Kingsbridge put their own Xcelsior Artics on the Bx41 +SBS.

It was weird seeing R160 cars #9971-9974 (Very last R160's) on the along with 8593-8596. I forgot the other half that were mated with them.

I found it again on the B70.... it's 468

 

Some Next Gens from KB have that ad and some Orion VII's from Jackie Gleason as well. It was about time some spanish ads pop up although there is nothing wrong with the current ones.

If not already noted---4170 is now at Fresh Pond and was working the Q58 yesterday.

Been there since early last month.

Ad wraps are back again. Peep the number placement:

 

I thought that was 5247 since it has the same ad wrap on the back, but 5247 had a side ad of the Phantom musical instead of Chicago.

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.

Nothing too special on the MNRR shuttle...

 

MCIs from Eastchester and Yonkers

D60s from Kingsbridge and Quill

Orion 7 OG hybrids from MHV

an Orion 7 CNG from WF

RTS from Quill

Orion7 NG from Gun Hill

and 1250 from 126

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.

I love how they can't put the signs correctly. Its not rocket science

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 .

There is an R32 train at the bway jct platform right now as i type getting roll signage change

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

(See here at http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s470/TomraTx2/R62Ayardroster_zps7e8ee5f0.png ,it is impossible to read when posted as an image here).

 

Sorry for the mass of text which takes up half a page, its still informal though.

 

EDIT: Photo didn't show correctly

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

Was 9871 there in the morning?

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.

I can almost guarantee that ENY wont get anymore R32's than it already has and they wont pop up on the sorry guys. 1. R32's are terrible at OPTO 2. QBL will need new C/R boards 3. No the C/R wont be in the 4-4 position for half its route then back to the 5-3 position. 4. The rollsigns will be a major issue for obvious reasons.

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 was on 9918, and that was between 5:40 to 6:20 heading to Astoria.

 

9836 was in service today, don't know where, but I saw deadheading, going up 33rd Street, two blocks away from 31st Street. A rather interesting choice, I'd say. It turned unto the highway after.

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.

You finally went after my babies again.

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.

Was it true what I read a few pages ago that 6798 is at Flatbush Depot? Also, does anyone know if Grand Avenue still have those 05s that they had to fix or did they return to their "appropriate" depots?

 

Another question, why did Gleason lose 320-324 to WF? First they lost 260-265, and now they lost they are losing their 300s. JG is short, for Goodness Sakes!!!!

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

 

 

5610 to grand ave CMF per this video  courtesy of railline8 (if you are a member here you are acknowledged).  

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.
