aemoreira81 Posted April 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2010 This bus was on a bus bridge for Train 650; I am facing west in this shot. That run had 5-6 MCIs and one O7 NG covering it, all from LIB. Earlier runs were performed by MTA Bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted April 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2010 Based on schedule analysis of the bus bridge for Train 650, there is one bus taking each station down the line. By the 7 buses you mean that PJ alone has 7 buses? There are 6 stations and 1 local bus, so 7 makes sense for the entire line, you probably saw 7 buses if you waited at Huntington.

aemoreira81 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted April 2, 2010 That used to be out of Yukon when I still lived on Staten Island in June of '06. And it sure seems as though it was transferred from Yukon straight to Mitchel Field; the seat I was in was flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
