46Dover Posted May 3, 2016 Share #1976 Posted May 3, 2016 The cngs ISL9 lack power. In turn howell had to set the buses to use 5 gears because they wasn't getting hot enough. More then 10 buses have blown engines and many more are out of service until a engine swap occurs. Njt got the smallest engine rating for a heavy bus and its biting them in the ass. And egg habors old buses may come out of storage The hybrids are not having this issue because they don't use the engine for the first 40mph. Not a mechanical fault, the bad spec team from njt deciding on a small engine on a bus that needs hella power. The new cts they got smart and got 410hp ISX12. Fire em (the spec team) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted May 3, 2016 Share #1977 Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) When did Fairview get back 5278-5281 from Greenville ? I don't think they did. Saw some of those on the 126. I stand corrected, seen some on the 154 and 156 yesterday. Edited May 3, 2016 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8037TWP Posted May 6, 2016 Share #1978 Posted May 6, 2016 Confirmed: 7506-'08 are Ironbound. 7501 is MIA and should be added to the Egg Harbor storage list. About Howell's CNGs, are they going to re-power all or just the few that have blown engines and with what package? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted May 6, 2016 Share #1979 Posted May 6, 2016 7501 is in storage, not MIA. Re power all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTransitMan4608 Posted May 15, 2016 Share #1981 Posted May 15, 2016 The D4500CT 16001 demo is now out of Meadowlands Garage This is a question for you & 553 Bridgeton. How do the drivers and maintenance staff like 16001 so far? Is there any problems with it? Is it good, bad, so-so? I'm asking because I don't want to see another fiasco like we had with the DesignLines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted May 16, 2016 Share #1983 Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Its a great bus and very powerful at 410hp. The c-brake is kind of weak though. Hopefully they change the leather seat. Its easy to work on so maintaince love it. They just need to get rid of the drivers leather seat.

Whats wrong with MCI's? I like MCI's and drive them too. NJT uses NABI's which might not be quite as fun based on my conversations with other drivers and experience ( TBH though, I drove it one once or twice)..

8037TWP Posted June 7, 2016 Share #1989 Posted June 7, 2016 7486, '87, and 7940 are now Ironbound. In case there is remaining confusion over which 74xx-series coaches are at Ironbound and which are at Howell, the following notation will attempt to rectify that situation: 7453-'74, '78, '80, & '81 = Ironbound 7477, '82, & '83 = Howell 7475,'76, and '79 are unknown (one 74xx-series D4500 was DBR and sold for scrap in early September, but I don't recall the unit number; It may have been one of these). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoplanDudeJosMuller Posted June 9, 2016 Share #1990 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I recently heard that Salem County has two RTSes running for the 468. Im not sure if they still have them, but I know that they did as of late April. 1513 is one of them Edited June 9, 2016 by NeoplanDudeJosMuller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8037TWP Posted June 22, 2016 Share #1991 Posted June 22, 2016 7686 is at Oradell. 7921 (listed at both Wayne Township and Market Street) and 7925 (previously Oradell) are at Market Street; 7926 remains at Oradell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TransitMan Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share #1993 Posted July 3, 2016 ***Hello everyone! I will be updating the roster this afternoon BUT for now on ALL UPDATES can be found on the first page of this thread. It's easier to do it that way as oppose to re-posting. So look for the updated roster THIS afternoon (7/3). Thanks again for your posting and support!*** 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8037TWP Posted July 16, 2016 Share #2000 Posted July 16, 2016 17003 sure looks nice, but that is a weird numbering system and I wish it had a Detroit with some good, loud Jakes. Anyway: 7490 to Ironbound. 7611 (probably just a seasonal move) to Egg Harbor. 7686 should be listed at Oradell and 7921 should not be listed at Wayne Township. Route Adjustments: 199: Wayne Township 316: Twp, Newton Ave, and Egg Harbor Community Coach appears to split at least the following routes with Orange (may need confirmation): 705, 753, 755, 765. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
