1003 at Far Rockaway. 6297 at Grand Avenue.

Grand Ave is gonna look like a staten island depot pretty soon. But the more Vs the better & they should trade out some 94xx's for some 5xxx's

I thought this was transferred over to MTAB..

 

I was under the same impression, but I saw it with my own eyes on the lift getting worked on.

For some reason 3639 was seen (not by me) on the Q-60. It has BP stickers on it. Loaner?

probably all i saw on that line is just old gens/next gens

[Kingsbridgeviewer382]

6338 is at GA, still had Stengal stickers.

Its been there for a while. It was the first Orion V to go into service at Grand Ave depot.

[Micstromme]

The B26 is a Fresh Pond route.

 

The B26 is a Fresh Pond route, but the rest of them aren't. The B62 and B57 are a part of the Grand Avenue Depot.

They been had 9600's.. 9667 was at GA for a couple weeks now I believe. Didn't know about 9669, they have 9670 too I heard.

From going over previous posts:
 

Grand Avenue:
6097, 6146, 6169, 6194, 6280, 6285, 6289, 6292, 6297, 6298, 6312, 6316, 6325, 6338, 6348

You forgot 1 6186 is also at the GA depot.

[S78 via Hylan]

I'm not sure about that. It's showing up on the S46 on Bustime.

[Cait Sith]

Confirmed. It's still out on the island.

[S78 via Hylan]

I figured it was still there.

I'm VERY aware of that fact.  But he was citing 9600's and saying it was about time GA got 9600's while citing a FP route (B26).

I know it's foaming but I was on 6097 yesterday morning on the B57.  I noticed that the stop requested signal is still the strips on the walls, it was not modified to the pull rope.  I was under the impression that all the Orion V's were so modified, obviously not.

You should see the Stengal Orion Vs. I'd say the majority of the 6000s there still haven't been modified.

The only 6000's that have been modified from Stengel are prob the ones that came from Staten Island.

Staten Island vandals used to cut the wires for the push tape bell, and the air assist rear door, so ones which had been really messed up were changed to pull cords for the bell and some had the back door air assist fixed/modified.

[aemoreira81]

Add 6346 to Grand Avenue.

[Armani]

Add 6346 to Grand Avenue.

More Orion's to GA? Sounds interesting

vandals? More like annoyed bus drivers...
