There are Classics at NYPD? (Never seen or heard of those before. Thought everything not saved as Museum went to Nimco).

 

The NYPD bought some of the MCI Classics after they were retired by the MTA. Now they have the suburban Orion Vs.

Alright here's the story..

 

9349: AC/No Power

9002: Oil leak/ no power

9034: No Power at all

9259: No Power "Hold"

9048: No Power "Please hold"

 

Basically all of these have no power..

 

9349 no FB so it might actually be used, 9034 got its Farebox taken out today so it might be another one that'll be used..

Fareboxes out? I don't think it'll go into service....

They might be.. The foreman told me this. NYCB & MTA Bus have different Fareboxes.. All 5 buses are from MTA Bus, they're with NYCT now so the boxes have to be switched over. Will find out more info as the days/weeks pass on.

Wouldn't be that crazy if LGA got some newer equipment for the summer (or just for the future) from NYCT while some of their worst got sent to depots with the maintenance bays open to fix them. Just surprised the 9350-9699 batch hasn't moved.

Right.. Thought that would be the first batch to make a move but I guess not..

 

Btw 934 being towed on the L.I.E heading for scrap..

do you know what they are there for? for maintainence or to make service?

 

 

c40lfs what the...

 

 

They have to be there for maintenance.

They left already, they didn't do anything they just sat in the yard.. The mechanics from U.P were driving them around. This garage doesn't even have C40 parts so it wouldn't be here for maintenance.
