Acela Express Posted July 3, 2011 Share #10 Posted July 3, 2011 Nice catch, guy. I didn't know #801 ended up at MTA Bus. It's funny because this bus actually was the first C40LF to be delivered back in 1998 to Jackie Gleason.. of course when they were brand new.

Yeah if you didn't know the new C40LF model is supposed to push out the older C40's from Gleason into other depots such as College Point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted July 4, 2011 Share #12 Posted July 4, 2011 Thank you! Thanks, but... When is the last time a C40LF ran on the Q38 in service? How long has this C40LF been in College Point? And how many people caught it out of College Point routes before this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acela Express Posted July 4, 2011 Share #13 Posted July 4, 2011 I've noticed the engine vent in the back of the new C40LFs, which means no more rear ads, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share #14 Posted July 4, 2011 Yesterday... (as in Thursday) Nice shots. Thanks... But It was training on Thursday, not in service. Yesterday was Friday. Nice photos too.. Thanks lol. Cool catches you got right there! Thank you! Nice catch, guy. I didn't know #801 ended up at MTA Bus. It's funny because this bus actually was the first C40LF to be delivered back in 1998 to Jackie Gleason.. of course when they were brand new. Thanks, and yeah it seems whenever the orders buses, the 2nd one in the order gets delivered first. It happened with the LFS, 8000 didn't get delivered until much later. How long has this C40LF been in College Point? And how many people caught it out of College Point routes before this? Yes, its been on different routes out of CP before but never in service on the Q38 before. I've noticed the engine vent in the back of the new C40LFs, which means no more rear ads, maybe? Lol, design WIN . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted July 4, 2011 Share #15 Posted July 4, 2011 Yes, its been on different routes out of CP before but never in service on the Q38 before. Can't know for sure, it could've made some runs on the Q38 and interlined with another route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
