Idk if this was supported, but 4680 has Casey Stengal decals.

I spotted it around 12:30 a.m. on the Q44 Local. Nice to see so many standards on the Q this summer. 

 

Also, 7373 was on the Q76 this afternoon around College Point.

Queens Village requires as many RTS' (plus all other models) to make "score".  The number of RTS' there (as well as other depots) will change as more Nova's arrive.  IDK what the point is, other than ranting about the number of RTS' it already has.  What about Grand Ave?  The entire allocation of XD40's are in, yet they still have 76 RTS', a drop of (only) about 20 since the XD 40's came in because the brains at NYCT gave away most of the hybrids, some of which will hopefully return when KB and GH get their new Nova's.

 

Roster correction at Grand please:  XD40 7193-7254 (full allocation) = 62 buses, not 60.

The hybrids sent to Gun Hill and Kingsbridge are just there to fill in for the Orion V's that are being scrapped quickly. Once more LFS' start rolling in, then the hybrids will go back to Brooklyn to push out the older RTS'.

LGA batch of XD60s will kill off the remaining RTSs....

 

All they have to do is switch the Q53 back to LGA whenever the next pick starts... Keep in mind converting a route to from 40 footers to Artics is a service cut...

 

 

If LGA batch of XD60s is up long before a new pick starts... just have them sit in ECH Storage until the pick starts.
