Well kinda .. Yes. But Staten Island is in bad shape ATM so they're gonna send the good ones over there and the bad ones down here or another reason could be for mileage reasons.. They wanna balance everything out.
Well the reason those XD40's went to EN were because the union guy at UP lost the election and that's what caused those buses to go over there. If you think about it it's kinda obvious.. If all 90 models went to 1 garage except the xcelsiors.. EN weren't suppose to get those but I brought this up when they first did the swap between EN & UP with the xcelsiors but nobody believed me. I spoke to the union rep about what happened and he told me what happened, I mean I live across the street from the depot so I know what goes on but nobody believed me.
Well remember when they first got them they were going back and fourth to UP & EN then they finally got things set after a few weeks... Like 4815 went there for training then back to UP then back to EN for service then back to UP then back to EN for good, then 4862 was the same way.
It was.. Now it's at FB.
4959 came back from Quilll, 4946 came back also. 4961 went from EN - FB. FB lost 9670 & a couple others I heard to FP.
If there was an update it would've been posted about a month ago lol for now everybody will have to keep their eyes & ears open.
They aren't transferring anything out at the moment.. They're just short & they're gonna use the 05's. But I did speak to a family member of mine who works there (not a driver).. He said they're gonna get rid of the next gens, no I don't know where they're going or what's gonna replace them. No.. There's only 2-3 RTSs on loan to SI from GA & that's only week days.
Base shops is there as well.. It's probably heading there for work. I saw about 2 of them inside EN earlier this morning couldn't see the #'s though. Base shops is there as well.. It's probably heading there for work. I saw about 2 of them inside EN earlier this morning couldn't see the #'s though.
Ahh, and yeah the new pick is that Sunday. Hmm.. Looks like someone will have to make a trip over there lol. I hope it would go into service. I'm surprised the brought that one back out of storage instead of using another #.
Lol I know.. That was quicker than I thought! And i commented on a post "caitsith" that they would return probably by the end of the year lol well that was quick! It didn't catch me at first though, I walked out my building and saw 2 buses coming and I said oh 5089 & 5115 & I forgot where they were & I'm like oh shit lol.
