I think it’s best to wait and see instead of speculating. The more you speculate the more you look like an ________. and I will leave it there. Let’s all be mindful. This is the we are dealing with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I can see Queens Village getting more LFS's from another depot until its time for the Orion VII NG's to retire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen them slap decals on buses one day and get sent back the next. A Quill speciality. Incredibly uncommon to see a bus run out of Quill or ENY with the wrong decals. Reminds me, did anybody ever got a shot of 8795 wearing the MJQ logos during its brief, brief stint there a few years back? I remember seeing it on the M8... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted October 28, 2020 Share #32333 Posted October 28, 2020 I just got through checking bustime... See that "Vehicle 19" is on the Q59... Had to stop & think, wtf is vehicle 19... Then the electric buses came to mind.... Why don't they just put 0019... "Vehicle 19" makes it sound like Girl 6 or Johnny 5 or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those buses must have been just about brand new then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao Well, growing up as an 90s baby in Brooklyn, if you was into the bus side of this hobby you had no choice but to like the RTS as that's all BK had until JG got C40s, I still remember being excited about orginal C40s when they debuted. JG had about 30 or so Orion Vs since the mid 90s until 2010 or so but they was VERY rare, I never saw one in my elementary years back then. The only other bus I remember seeing was MCI classics on the BM's. If you didn't live along a Command bus express route then you never saw them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing ball down at the Red Hook fields, back when every single bus JG had was a DD50 lmao. It was C40 after C40, eventually the O7 CNGs started coming in, but I really remember the C40s and the occasional high floor bus, which looking back was an O5 CNG. That was the B61 passing and those engines used to absolutely roar. Really changed the sound of half of Brooklyn when JG lost its last DD50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, as much as I can appreciate the Novas and Xcelsiors none of them can hold a candle to those original C40s... big, big part of my childhood growing up in Bay Ridge. They were everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree (I was one of them), I grew up on the Classics rolling around with the D4500s and Cls coming in. D60s and Orion Vs was going around my house as well, and the 93-99 RTS as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word, I knew it had to have been a minute. Reminds me you that the MCIs never get repainted, so anything can show up on the decal stickers... One of the Manhattanville transfers, I want to say 4260, has a Castleton sticker showing. That's a few years back as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
