Tf?  Why does stengel need those units. I’m having a hard time believing this transfer. CS has current conehead delivery. They don’t need these units 

Probably two NGs at CS are scrap and the transit community isn't aware of what units they are yet. So Grand sent CS those two NGs to replace two retired NGs in the meantime. Also LFS diesel order is coming in pretty slow.

Doesn’t matter.  Stengel does not need the units. Whether or not the delivery is slow or not. I understand they sent units to LaGuardia and some to scrap. However, at the end of the day sorry to say Stengel routes outside the Q12, Q20A/B, Q44 and maybe the Q48 only do the bare minimum.

Also gotta remember that school is starting up soon and the MTA being the MTA LOVES to be scrap happy to the point they have to be borrowing from other depot's anyways.

7980: delivered and at Ulmer Park. 

So based on what is transpiring...the order COULD pan out like this...

7851-7889 (39) Fresh Pond....7856-7869 delivered

7890-7919 (40) East New York....7890-7891, 7893-7894, 7898 delivered

7920-7959 (40) Flatbush...7943, 7948 delivered

7960-7989 (20) Ulmer Park...7978-7982 delivered

 

Of course, subject to change!
