What about the former NABI plant in Anniston, Alabama? I figured to ask if they can build MCIs over there, or is it just transit buses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted March 27, 2020 Share #603 Posted March 27, 2020 Anniston is building (and has finished, I believe) the current NYC order of New Flyer XD60's.... The Pembina plant is strategic for MCI as it's very close to their headquarters in Winnipeg. I don't foresee MCI going down there to build buses. Meanwhile I think we are in a holding pattern with the new buses. Nothing's been delivered of late, 20044-20050 are sitting in the CMF, 20051 is apparently still at Allison, and 20052-20053 are supposedly on the property someplace. Whole lot of buses sitting in the parking lot in Pembina as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that NJT isn't delivering buses from CMF because they may not have the manpower to do so right now with everything going. Although it could very well be another reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been stuck on 20043 being the highest numbered bus in service for quite some time now, about 2 weeks. The buses past that number that are in NJT's hands have not been tracking, even at CMF. I'll note 20054 as delivered but not inspected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the CNGs were in Anniston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, plant code on those is F, which is Anniston. Those are the 2020 diesel ones that NYCTA took delivery of this year. the most recent gas buses (XN60) were built at Crookston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd, because they were tracked out of St. Cloud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted April 1, 2020 Share #612 Posted April 1, 2020 20055 and 20056 inspected today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted April 2, 2020 Share #613 Posted April 2, 2020 The final two buses destined for Wayne Garage, 20057 and 20058, both passed state inspection today. We now have a logjam of 15 buses at CMF awaiting their entry into service. I can understand with the service cuts and other concessions to the Coronavirus (including reduced manpower at CMF) that NJT is reluctant to put new buses into service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted April 7, 2020 Share #621 Posted April 7, 2020 Just confirmed that NFI Group, owners of MCI and New Flyer, have shut down all production facilities until at least May. This is going to adversely affect the current NJ Transit contracts for both MCI and New Flyer products. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more than likely an Academy MCI downtown doing commuter runs or it's helping transport medical workers from the hotels to the hospitals.
