Bye Bye ECH O-5s.......

Let's just wait and see before jumping to conclusions

[Orion VII 4 Life]

Well I mean those are the oldest of the bunch and they pretty beat...

[MHV9218]

4656, 4658-4659 all over to CS today. 4687 also seems to be on extended loan there. 9383 GA to FP.

Well, it just got there this morning. It's safest to assume work as Shane said, but that's a ways for the bus to go. 5010-5011 have been back at ENY for a while, too, along with 5025 and 5028.

All 4 buses are still in FB as of this AM. 5025 and 5028 on the B41.

Oh yeah, you're totally right. I was reading the list for FB and EN side by side, and forgot which was which. I stand by everything else posted up though.

It seems like Fresh Pond is getting more RTS since Grand Av has the Xcelsiors now and some left for Flatbush

[Future ENY OP]

4524 at FB with proper decaling. Working B41 southbound to Kings Plaza.

[Armani]

What is it with Flatbush getting Fresh Pond's NG Hybrids? They already have enough buses as it is!!! Can someone break it down for me?

Well, this is REALLY weird.

 

5185, 5188, and 5193 went to Eastchester this morning. I don't know if they're replacing the O5s, being put in storage, or what.

 

9400 FB to UP.

Add 5196-5197 to the list at ECH.

[Calvin]

Isnt the 1996 RTS (8750-9349) suppose to retire first?

I'm guessing for work or possibly storage

[MysteriousBtrain]

Yeah. The 5100's aren't officially retiring now, so it's likely storage or work service.

[R179 8258]

There's a CS Orion 5 at Jamaica Dept right now

There 2 actually

[MHV9218]

9496 GA to ECH. The truth is, if some 1998 9400s are retiring, some 1999 5100s in poor condition could do the same. But who knows. It's very hard to tell whether buses sent to ECH are there for storage, service, or scrap without actually heading up there.

[Calvin]

9496 GA to ECH.

 thats actually from Ulmer Park 

[Kingsbridgeviewer382]

6084, 6104, 6114, 6121, 6127, 6145, 6146, 6151, 6161, 6283 pending scrap.

 

9496 (Mentioned earlier) also for scrap.

 

The Flatbush 5100's are in there for repairs.

[Flatbush Depot]

What is it with Flatbush getting Fresh Pond's NG Hybrids? They already have enough buses as it is!!! Can someone break it down for me?

I'm not sure why FB is getting FP NG's either we have 80+ of those & flatbush has about 240 not much considering UP 260+ & flatbush is a bigger depot

[MHV9218]

Interesting to see those O5s marked up. Many have been off the roster for a while, anyway.

It left from GA. Must have been a recent transfer.

I thought 9496 was Fresh Pond's

Yeah. The 5100's aren't officially retiring now, so it's likely storage or work service.

Eastchester doing servicing on those 51xx buses. They will be back in Brooklyn in a few days/weeks.

Brutal winter. March awaits and FB gets their hand on the XD40's.

Only 2 depots those 51xx buses have been. MJQ & FB. This winter been very harsh

9496 has been flowing around between FP/UP/GA.

ORIGINAL: FP bus. However loan to UP and GA.

NGs back to Jamaica. Seems to be some daily/weekly loans while the OGs are overhauled at GA. Couple O5s are sent to JA every couple days for work, too.
