9426 is covering for 8048 which went to Canada on Tuesday

3 RTSs from 126 will replace the ones sent to LGA

Laguardia is about to steal (i mean aquire) 8803, 8806 & 8810 from QV

Tonight 8806 & 8810 will leave to LGA

Those were good runners too the drivers here were killin for 8810

Lol, maybe they didn't follow through on the storage plan, but it was supposed to be on reserve...

It is on reserve it's sitting next to 5494 

Definitely, it'd look great. That bus was a real looker and runner, too. Also off are 5440-5441, 5446-5447, 5456, and 5484.

 

One I don't get, anybody who can explain why 5252 got sent to storage? I expected that bus had at least year or two...

5252 ->

taken yesterday

Right. So you can do your own, "correctly." Honestly, who the hell made you boss here? Small wonder Trevor lost his patience with this scene... 

 

 

 

Correct, not a single C40LF is officially assigned to JFK.

 

--

 

Sounds like 5400 is to head to storage, there goes the oldest in-service D60...

I saw 5400 sitting in Eastchester... 

alil off topic but if JFK has CNG's running in revenue service on all JFK routes why isnt it on DEPOT ROSTOR on ttmg.... anything moved should be accounted for right ?   even if its just temporary still it should be listed under JFK.... they DO have C40LFs for right now 

we ALL know that... but being that they arent physically AT spring creek.... shouldnt they be added to the Roster... IE:extras on loan section 

Spring Creek C40LF's here until further notice

LOL @ 2-3 months.... 

there are people who follow the boards and may think they are still in SPRING CREEK when in fact they arent.... all im saying is this... if your gonna do a roster.... do it all the way correctly.... if JFK has CNG's right now... list it... thats all 

weither or not they stay or go...thats NOT important... whats important is WHERE they are at NOW plain and simple

I live BY the Depot.... hence the name JFK Depot.... they house all CNG's.... they DONT go back to Bklyn.... what they did was operator train on them... for those ops who never drove a CNG before.... but they house them right across the street from the main parking lot... directly behind McDonalds on Farmers Blvd... ride by there at night you'll see everything special in that yard... CNG's and maybe a D60HF... last time I walked over there which was last week.. thats what I saw... mind you Im 5 blocks from the depot

Oh yes and there is a CNG fueling station in JFK airport which they use to refuel

*Sigh

It's been said more than once these are SPRING CREEK buses on loan to JFK. They get fueled at SC then driven and stored at JFK because JFK doesn't have a CNG facility. Those ARE NOT permanent buses at JFK. They are loaners, not assigned to JFK rightfully SC buses  so the roster is correct

Like ENY wasn't already doing that LOL

Hmmm my guess is to possibly send the 5 1996 RTSs back to LGA. They are seriously short big time.....

No we're keeping those till they die... 

I dont know why we getting these though

Beat you to the punch...

 

LOL beat him by two hours 

anyway was at Zerega for a bit today looking for a plate/part that cant be found...

I came across this interesting work in progress

5658, this bus is being conjoined with the rear of 5656 I see... 

The cylinder head on 9626 I can understand, but the reline is suppose to be depot work...

Been overdue... been sitting on the track for quite some time they were suppose to have done it

According to the foreman 126 is sending over a few RTSs to Queens Village dunno why...

6431 if it not on list...

Also Lemme f**k y'all up for a sec.

So FRESH 

So clean you can eat off of it on the spot EVEN the operator's seat is new.


 

Ok looking at my log here at work...

3/28/13 9354 to CMF (Grand)

3/28/13 9626 to CMF (Grand) Cylinder Head/Reline

3/29/13 9426 to QV from 126 (already noted I see)

3/31/13 6286 to CS

Would the numbers of the buses shown be (left to right): 9317, 9865, 7672, 6853, 6290, and then 3548?

9317, 9865, 7672, 6853, (Orion V CNG I forgot the number), 3741

3548 could not be found... Nor 6290

What is the # of the OG next to 7672?

6853 Went up in flames

What do all these buses have in common? 

Spontaneous Combustion 

(minus 9865)

6430, 6435 & 6469

6437 + 6459





8 year complete with those two

…I work with some real comedians

Lmao

This went over my head for some reason. Yes, rotary lifts. For lifting buses. What is interesting? It should be cheaper with no installation, I get that. Is it supposed to signify something else, too?

(Serious question. And I predict I'll look quite the fool once I get the answer.)

I just  said interesting because they look interesting... 

Different from the Steril koni lifts theyve been using for years

New Rotary Bus Lifts...



Interesting

That's Charleston for ya. Damn though it's that bad?

 

Nice picture though lol

Left blinker is stuck on 

6220 is getting worked on a Jamaica, it'll head to Casey Stengel when done. 

6286  is @ QV but for maintenance reasons. 

You're a BMA??

Not necessarily Assistant/apprentice

i've been working with them, assisting them, doing misc. tasks for the foreman, they've been teaching me and showing me how to inspect the buses, fix things like a broken mirror, apply decals or use my electrical skills.Just one of the many things I do at QV other than clerical work.

Hmm well what has Dmouse been up to at QV?

Inspected/Pre-tripped 8756 on Wednesday



I also added the lettering to the back, as there was just a logo there


:3



Also I completely did 8803's rear. It didnt have any of the stickers, just MTA logo again.



Surprised the stockroom had the old  school do not turn on right sticker...



I don't remember doing this... 

Just gonna leave this here...






6443 also got repainted in the new scheme
experimenting with watermarking...

Since when does MTA tow buses to Cummins? IIRC, buses are either driven to Cummins, or an outside towing company brings it over (on Cummins' dime of course).

Dunno

Foreman told me, " go look at 8066 they're towing it to Zerega Cummins."
