I would think they are OR did they go elsewhere...like Meadowlands? I believe they are all scrapped except for coaches 8294 and 8304 which are still at Wayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron2themax Posted January 16, 2020 Share #2505 Posted January 16, 2020 Add 8301 to the list from Wayne garage. I saw it on the 190E this week. So in total Wayne has 3 2002 D4500 buses left. Again they are coaches #8294, #8301 & #8304 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people don’t understand that Egg Harbor Garage has the longest MCI lines in the entire bus network with the 313/315 running time coming in at 3hrs one way, and the summer 319s in and out of cape May at 5hrs. A round trip staring or ending in cape May and ending in AC is 395 miles including deadhead. While meadowlands round trip on the 319 is 260miles with no cape May. 320 13 trips is just about 70-80 miles while 4 trips on the 553 is 267 miles. Egg Harbor has the best maintenance because we actually have to fix our buses for distance while meadowlands only fixes for short distance. Between Howell and EHT they both have the best maintenance of buses. While those 7100s has 1.3 million miles, look at this, 7180 had the original C13 and Allison it came with and had 1.2 million miles with no rebuilt transmission or engine. Now 7175 had 500k and had its engine replace around 470k and trans around 500k. No meadowlands bus will ever run to a million miles unless those buses came from south jersey with high miles. 7177-78 were originally egg harbor buses and are meadowlands most consistent buses.

So basically they got too beat up with mileage and all are just... dead now (early retirement). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted January 31, 2020 Share #2517 Posted January 31, 2020 Back to the topic at hand. Wayne Garage is getting the first batch of 20000-series cruisers. So far they have 20004-20005 and 20007-20008. These buses entered revenue service yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 1/4/2020 at 5:35 PM, The TransitMan said: #6322 is at Orange. It's listed there. As for #5230, it has been moved around so many times. I did loose track. I thought it was somewhere in the southern division. It’s at the Ferry shops on Ferry St. I saw it there when I took my CDL training classes at the training center this week. I’m not sure what garage it’s assigned to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just interested and I won't be in Jersey for a few months. Isn't 5757 also at the Ferry Shops or its been gone as well?
