Hey all you Guys n Gals in Ulmer Park, possibly Gleason, Castleton is getting new NOVAS within the next feew weeks. 8000-8029. I was told by the AGM that the Orion 7 NG were going to Brooklyn to replace the RTS fleet. Be on the look out! I will post any new info as I hear. P.S yes we have 1868, 1869, 1877, 1882 1934, 1939. Better than the crap we were left with after the moves to Charleston.

:edited: Misread the post and thought the Novas were exclusively going to SI depots. Nm....

=

:so I don't waste another post:

 

IF this is true, the hybrids will probably go to either FLA or GA, I'm leaning to the former, 96 Novas there longer routes etc, IIRC GA doesn't even have any 96s at the moment. Then again GA is a showcase depot and doesn't have ANY 99 Novas there. I do not by means want to see more hybrids come to FLA as I'm one of the biggest RTS foamers on here lol, but if it does it is what it is.:cry:

 

I agree, I like the RTSs there. I don't want there to be more NGs. Send them to GA and let them displace their RTSs.

I'm waiting for the delivery to actually happen, look at the last 8,000 things that were said to be official and everything changed.... i.e the C40LFR being old face C40LF and peeps touted it to be official, what now? We got the new face.

For repairs...ENY is also a heavy maintenance shop (along with Grand Av & Possibly Eastchester) so almost anything goes there to be fixed. On occasion I see Orion V diesels come in and out the back entrance
