All of the moves will replace the 18 hundred's the 19 hundred's and early 2000 spread out between castleton Yukon.and meredith.
Breaking news about. Bus swaps. Im verifying all info before i post so stay tuned. Possible major swap between yukon-cast, spring creek-meredith-ulmerpark. If Im right wow!!!!
Correct. My bus 2717, call it mine cause ive been using it daily is up at CP for the shuttle work. Please take care of it. I had maint do a shizxle load of work ti it since it came over from yukon.
I was just called by an operator and I confirmed it by asking the AGM that Caston is getting 2 Orion 3g's real soon to test the susupensions out on certain lines! Before they take delivery of the order. Dont know why but thats what was relayed to me! They're looking to see if the new suspension is going to take the abuse of SI Roads.(not gonna happen) I'll let ya know when they come and what lines they're gonna be on.
Dont forget boys and gals, The Orion 7's had a few fires in the beginnig as well. Flatbush I beleive had one and Cast lost 3984 totally to electrical fire. the bus the FP has now actually has a shop number of 3984x in the computers as Orion replaced the bus under warranty. I was at the scene of Yukons 6331 generator fire about 3 months ago burned up pretty good too!
8025 back in cast as of 615 pm. It went out for a photo op. New depot, new buses, new shopping g center,and the fact that they rerouted 78/74 to sersvice bricktown. That's all. CHARLESTON NOTgetting any lfs. Sorry boys n gals. :cry:b
I know some of you ask me what Castleton has and what has left. its been hard keeping up with all of the moving and the latest contract blow we received today. So here's the depots roster as of Yesterday. Nothing moved since or will be moving til we get more LFS's in and we get all the Charleston crap fixed and road worthy! 8002,8016,2014 Left off roster, don't know why?
3973 Out getting traction motor replaced
4000-4001 @ Orion plant getting retrofit modifications and warranty work
4445 Out getting warranty work done
What do u mean by plugs? They don't plug the hybrid buses into anything? Maybe the vacuum for the farebox n the maintenance computers but they all have same ports n plugs. Nothing different n besides the batteries are maintained by the vendors anyway they have their own equipment.
Bus 4432,3,4,5,6 moved to Charleston tonight, 6244,6252 to castleton. No BS I did the moves. Word came down today that Charleston to get 21 ng's from cast in exchange for 6000's(in bad shape btw). Ill get more info tomorrow.
