I caught two old C40LF's side by side on the B8 (818 and 881) last Saturday, the other day I saw three of them (I was on one of them) on the B68, 881 (on 881), 878 & 920, they don't seem to be that hard to find.

Speaking of FR, I noticed one of the O5 140s at FR (still has the LGA sticker on), but there's a small 'FR' written above. I guess it could be right about being short on stickers. But yeah there's a good chance of seeing JFK stickers on the buses on the Q35.

Oh ok, guess I had a lucky catch today, is it the same for some of the other C40s against the fence?

Yeah there's about a couple or more sitting against the fence. I need to get my rides on them before they're gone. I saw 902, 987 on the 16 this morning then 2 seconds coming across the light was 983. I need to catch 902 that's the only one I haven't recorded out of the few.

What I can't seem to understand is what will Gleason get if these old buses retire? Wouldn't the depot be short a few without those 16 buses?

Well dont forget that West Farms has 261-265...which is there while WF Orion VIIs are getting repainted...etc

So Gleason prolly has about 5-7 extra buses...and once those old C40s retire...the 261-265 batch will return back to Gleason

They will still be short correct. They're short now as is.. I say they should've kept the C40's until it was completely time for them to go.

Gleason doesn't have anything extra they're short as hell. Would've been nice for them to keep those 05's but I guess not.
