Listening to this in memory of Nate Dogg who passed away yesterday.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfwZYgdO6Ds

IF this is true, the hybrids will probably go to either FLA or GA, I'm leaning to the former, 96 Novas there longer routes etc, IIRC GA doesn't even have any 96s at the moment. Then again GA is a showcase depot and doesn't have ANY 99 Novas there. I do not by means want to see more hybrids come to FLA as I'm one of the biggest RTS foamers on here lol, but if it does it is what it is.:cry: Awesome! Usally other depots dump all kinds of old buses on UP lol, now its the opposite, I love it!

Subchat is a hot mess but one thing that never gets old is calling people out by changing the thread title! No, I do not by any means agree with the Kew Gardens dude making fun of that poster's disability, I'm mainly referring to the posts down below that one. Otherwise I pretty much agree with everything that has been said about the chat these past few posts.

Yes, it happens to me all the time when riding a train though an underwater tube, I wonder what causes that?

The Cannonball Double Decker is the Kawasaki C3s on the LIRR, which runs with the locomotive that is the logo of the railroad forum here on NYCTF lol. They run on all diesel LIRR services but the Cannonball is a super express train to the hamptons that only runs on Fridays from ethier LIC or NYP to the Hamptons during the summer.

I agree! I hope the Arrow IV's are single level MUs, and have A RFW like the SL-Vs do lol, I know the first set of seats in the first car is roped off on the SL-Vs, from what I read the second and third seats still offer a nice view. Not really a fan of the Arrow IIIs, they look nice, they was built by Budd and have a great sounding horn its just the seats on those things, I honestly think that if they had more pleasant seating for tall people like myself, I would be a fan of them! But last I heard the replacement for the Arrow IIIs are gonna be multilevel, its unknown whether they will be Push Pulls or MU's though, I'm hoping for the latter, as more Push Pull multilevels would be boring.

Eventually, Yes. A few months from now fans are gonna be complaining about the entire NH line being nothing but M8s on weekends and the lack M2/4/6s running on weekends lol, slimar to how fans complain about lack of M3s in service on weekends over at the LIRR.

Thank god the week is done, I feel like a Zombie gone back to life back back to life!

Just send that bus to ECH scrap and send a random hand me down Nova to replace it, problem solved! :cool:

Nope, its a Allison tranny.

And 8918 has FLA stickers but still with the MTA Bus decals when I saw it a few days ago, reminds me of when FLA had those 90 TMC.. towards the end when only like three of em.

Anybody know if this train will be on the 4:17 on Friday?

Wow, the M8 could be barreling down the NH in passenger service as we speak! I doubt it though, as I'm pretty sure the first run of this new train would get a lot of media attention, and not low key like this.

I seen the three buses I mentioned dead in ECH in the Bronx, 8801 was in the lot next to I-95 so its wrap for that one, 9075 and 9087 are in the other lot but there clearly missing parts and most likely are retired for good. I know it went to FLA went the 3900s came and UP and FLA swaped the ZFs for the 9000s. Then it came back to Ulmer Park and died there.

There's two 96 Novas from FLA @ ECH, 9075 and IIRC, 8801. 9087 from UP is there as well. they looked to be partially cannibalized so I doubt there coming back.
