At this point, I’m not surprised.

First to ENY. Returned to FB. Now to Ulmer. No surprise. However, i rather those leave than the 76xx buses.

I didn’t think Ulmer Park would be receiving any more 40 foot buses with the B1 becoming an articulated route in approximately two months. Watch those units return back to Flatbush! 😂

Saw 6585 at ENY yesterday

You might be right. Let’s see tho. If anything we might prepare more XD’s to Fresh Pond and East New York respectively. Unless the governor intervenes with these buses. The Brooklyn OG’s are gonna run to the ground.

6585 is currently on the B26. It’s still a Fresh Pond unit.

Copy. Appreciate the clarification

(This ain't a move, I hope, cause this will be outta line) 1088 sitting in front of UP, parked with the buses in a line.

[Around the Horn]

4743 back at UP

It's driving around Bay Ridge today I assume for driver training... My dad saw it shadowing a B9.

3537-3538 JFK to Baisley Park
3778 Baisley Park to JFK

[T J Trainman]

3538 has been at BP for a while now.

[NBTA]

8017 to GA (Probably CMF, but I thought that QV was one already).

QV was never a CMF. tbh, it'd be nice if there was one Queens-side, but alas... Transit logic

Grand Avenue Depot is pretty much at the border of Queens and Brooklyn, making it easy to access for several buses.

having trained there 10 years ago (went to days 8 & 9) I realize where it is. i meant to state that i consider Grand Avenue a Brooklyn yard/cmf and it'd be nice if there was a cmf in the general area between CP, Baisley etc. it's a personal opinion. btw i have the same opinion re: staten island. not to deviate from the purpose of this thread, obviously

clarifying... because GOD FORBID someone doesn't mention that Grand Avenue is TECHNICALLY in Queens 🙄

3566, 3588, 3738 to College Point (Loans from LGA)

College Point receives loans often... I wonder if NYCT (JG/WF) could afford to sacrifice a few more C40LFs.

If WF gets more XD40s it's not impossible.

I saw 6595 with ENY stickers on the  (normal), but then 2 days later, I saw the same unit in Upper Manhattan. Why?

I guess they didn’t give 6595 FP decals after being transferred from East New York a while back.

Could it of been a Subway Shuttle? Maybe a Training Bus?

#3563 is finally back up and running that unit hasn't been running since last November.... the bus is doing a Trip to Downtown Brooklyn on the B103 rn. Also it looks like SC is loaning off #3682 from BP there was another unit they loan off from BP but I cant remember.

CP does the most work in Queens, not quite a CMF but they fix up a lot of buses and repaints them as well. Whatever they can't do, they send over to Grand Avenue(I consider it only as Brooklyn Division), ENY or sometimes Spring Creek.

5439 & 5441 currently at KB, awaiting their arrival to GH.

Will 5440 eventually make the trip to GH and will Flatbush send the remainder of the LFSA’s back to MQ or some to GH?
