8066 off to Cummins next to Zerega.

no its not dead, the engine might crap out on the way there





Also Indulgence:



Whe nQV had some REAL equipment...
 

What kind of engine do those current Bee Line O5's have? I'm guessing an earlier ISL. One of them just went past me and I barely heard it...

601-703 ISM & the suburbans have an ISL 

 

On another note, I find it interesting that Castleton is getting Kingsbridge Orion Vs, I wonder what the deal is.

Orion Vs pushed out by the XD60s maybe?

Maybe 2-3

But this bus been sitting dead for so long that some other complications might have developed. Also never got that "new" wheelchair lift....

ECH storage update: the following ARE SCRAP unless other wise noted. Sorry its not in numerical order: 8823, 9171, 9007, 9004, 9074, 8901, 8951, 9151, 9232, 8766, *9015, 9162, 8820, *9028, 9119, 8896, 9182, 9290, 9123, 8910, *8908, 8835, 9116.   -----> 9551 scrap, <---- needs W/C realignment. partially stripped.    *= not scrap. Sad indded. The 1996 Novas are becoming fewer and fewer.

about that 9551... 

Been sitting like this for nearly a year with the HOLD O/S W/C RELINE, now it's just a parts/scrap bus. the engine covers are off now and they took out some lights. 

So 4942 visited QV Yesterday.... It's back at JA but interesting lol

Is it only one bus? I guess I saw the same bus multiple times the same day lol. I'll tell you if I see it again. I didn't catch the numbers.

9365 is the only RTS with the numbers above the door at QV and in the City I believe

I've noticed, at least on QV's RTSes, that they've started putting the bus number above the front doorway. The numbers are in the same font and size like the ones on the redone NGs recently.

On which buses did you see that?

9365 has been running around like that for a number of years now...

2922 is currently assigned to Jamaica it seems

I do not know why

What up with this JFK CNG ordeal?

what happened to the new bus procurement?

Does anyone know how depots fuel their buses?

- Bus pulls in

-Shifter or driver pulls it up to fuel station

-then there it get's topped off with diesel & other fluids (fluids like DEF if it uses a Diesel particulate filter) also gets the farebox emptied/vaccumed

Speaking of XD40s, any idea as to why 4815 and 4862 are still not swapped back b/w UP and EN?

I rode 4862 two days ago... on the Q24... It's at ENY

This morining I saw 4931 and 5169 both deadheading to the QV depot. While a few moments earlier, I spotted 5167 on the Q-27 perhaps QV is short?

School trippers or extra runs?

we do not have those lol... checked the log today before I left  @ 6:30 PM 

Not sure why but 9360 is at stengel

not sure it's maintenance related or what-not...

Especially after the frame has been sitting in salt water after a period of time.... That rusts the frame out

Jamaica got a bunch of RTSs from LGA so they're sending theirs away to different depots

Fun Fact of the day:

Did you know? The 1998-2000 C40LFs don't have MAN axles.

they have an ArvinMeritor Axle in the front
and the rear axle is a Rockwell

Please tell me we aren't arguing over buses again

8017 came in when I left so I didn't see it. It's going to be a bitch finding that bus next week lol

LIE?? Wheree are they going? QV is right there by Belmont Racetrack just hop on Belt Pkwy all the way to Verrazano.

 

EDIT: Oh that would be dumb due to construction/narrow lanes, and no commercial vehicles

 

YOU CANNOT USE THE BELT PARKWAY/CROSS ISLAND FROM QV. (Bridge clearances)

Even though Trevor already updated the roster,

7012, 7016, 7022 @ Castleton. That leaves 7010 & 7013 which are in the back at QV awaiting a trip from the vendor and some parts.

2815, 2879, 2881, 2892 @ Charleston

2272, 2279, 2282, 2284 @ QV

(I Personally put the depot stickers on the incoming buses myself today lol)

8015, 8026, 8029 @ QV

All I know is that someone in maintenance at UP Is going to have the feels lol.

QV Moves Update.

2887, 2913, 2916, 2923 @ Charleston

7008, 7015, 7019, 7024, 7028 @ Castleton

8000, 8012, 8018-9, 8023, 8028 @ QV

2252, 2261, 2283, 2278 @ QV

By Friday if everything is A OK the last 3Gs will leave Queens to SI

That makes absolutely no sense -____-

 

Should've renumbered them 6350 and 6351.

 

When it comes to the MTA. does anything make sense? lol

Yeah 1305 and 1306 are the Orion Vs there's a pic of it on Facebook :
