NewFlyer 230 Posted August 17, 2016 Share #903 Posted August 17, 2016 Anybody remember when the 99 O5 CNG's made an appearance at then LIB?Yeah I remember this was in 2011 when half their fleet failed inspection. CP was getting 185-229 at the time and man LIB had at least I believe 30 or 40 MTA buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted August 17, 2016 Share #904 Posted August 17, 2016 Anybody remember when the 99 O5 CNG's made an appearance at then LIB?Them 700s that went over died along with LIB. Once they came back, they were immediately retired, or just never came back. 9827 was the most infamous one lol It went to LIB, and somehow got into an accident in the rear. They put one of their backs on it, and it came back to Gleason running around with a blue and orange engine panel. Still kept the visible body damage above the panel, then it went to West Farms. They saw that nonsense, and painted the blue stripe over it, but it didn't match the rest of the bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted August 17, 2016 Share #907 Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Had to do some digging through Photobucket, but I found a photo of it in Long Island lol ...and another photo of one running on the N41 These buses went everywhere towards the end of their lives. I remember these buses running on JFK/FR and LGA routes too.I don't think 9827 ever went back to CP before it retire. I remember seeing it on the Q8 with that blue stripe when SC loaned buses to JFK. The last two Orion's V CNG's that retired were 9845 and 9905. A question I always had if anyone knows why didn't any of the 1998 Orion CNG's go to JG or WF? They only had the 99's which was random units between 9827-9929 Edited August 17, 2016 by NewFlyer 230 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After everything got renumbered after the takeover (and before everything got shuffled around lol), it was generally like this: 700s: Command (Spring Creek) 7200s: Triboro (split between College Point & Spring Creek when LGA became diesel) 8500s, 9800s, and 9900s: Queens Surface (College Point) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted August 22, 2016 Share #913 Posted August 22, 2016 The Bx15 operated a Tuskegee Airmen unit yesterday (number was 5880). Not the first time though. It has operated a bus from Gun Hill Depot and more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted August 22, 2016 Share #917 Posted August 22, 2016 Wait why? Are they short on artics? Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app West Farms is always short. They can't get their act together. They have a decent amount of RTS from Brooklyn and queens which have no business being in the Bronx. Hopefully, September these buses can return back to their respective depots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the fact the JG is an all CNG bus depot and WF still has a lot of diesel artics and RTS I wouldn't really be surprised if there was a problem, seeing as how maintenance has to take care of both sides of the equation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since JG is CNG only, the good CNG's head down to JG while diesel loaners to WF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share #924 Posted August 26, 2016 Gleason has about 10-15 buses of their own out of service. They actually have about about 24-26 out of service at the moment. In other news, the first 2 of the new XN40's are here!! With 8 more on the way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
