I would love to see an RTS on the M1 or M7 - I can't remember the last time an RTS was seen on these Orion exclusive lines.....

[Grand Concourse]

Don't hold me to this, but yesterday I saw RTS 5073 with, I think, a 126th st depot sticker [ran by too fast for me to see it clearly]. It was running oos on Allen St.

I saw 5017 on the M1 on Thursday morning. It was around 98th St. and Madison Ave. at around 8:45 AM.

I wouldn't doubt that at all. 5072 is now at 126 as well.

The thought of that is just so beautiful! I probably would have embarrassed myself just like I did the first time I saw an R160 on the . You would have thought I won the lottery!

Same here brother man, I would have foamed to death, to see an RTS on the M1, damn

Nice! I wonder if the 5200s will be next? I wouldn't mind if 126th were to displace their 8700-8900s to places like LGA or such. Those would probably be better than the ex-BL O5s.

This means I gotta find 5074, and soon!

[Grand Concourse]

Yup, I had no idea till yesterday there were even 5000s at 126th. When did this move start?

I think it was June IIRC.

[Grand Concourse]

Oic, thanks.

Right after Amsterdam initially closed, MJQ donated 30 of their 5000s and some 898x to 126 while the rest went to storage, MJQ then received the OG hybrids from Amsterdam, 6691 up to 6748 I believe.

[Grand Concourse]

Ah, thanks so much!

I wonder if they are going to push out the last RTSs out of MJQ? I could see them having an entire 40' hybrid only fleet like Manhattanville.

That would suck, I would hate to see such a thing.

[Grand Concourse]

lol, true about that. Anyways, as promised, I've posted up my Nova LFS pics.

[T J Trainman]

The 5000s went to 126 st from MJQ at the beginning of the fall pick. IMHO The best thing to do is send the 1996 Novas from 126 st to LGA.

I dont think so......

[T J Trainman]

MJQ has from 6692-6747. I think its a great Idea to have MJQ to be an ALL hybrid depot.

How About, HELL NO, LGA would Kill those RTS, hell NYCTA don't want to give LGA no more RTS.
