None of the others past that have been confirmed for NJT yet, just have the VINs confirmed as built units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted April 20, 2018 Share #402 Posted April 20, 2018 Update on the 18000 series VINs. 18001 - JP014768 18002-18035 - JP014786-14819 18036 - JP014822 18037-18080 - JP014872-14915 18081-18096 - JP014921-14936 18097-18105 - JP014945-14953 18106-18110 - JP014958-14962 All the VINs start with 1M8PDMBA.

busdude2 Posted April 21, 2018 Share #403 Posted April 21, 2018 I guess the missing vins were built for other TA's in between NJT buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need 21 more buses to make the final total of 187 for the year, so looks like we will be getting the balance of that within the next few weeks. Missing buses should be 18111-18131. In September likely picking up at 18132, and then at some point starting the 19000's when the 2019 buses begin being built. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted May 14, 2018 Share #409 Posted May 14, 2018 18111 and 18112 have arrived. Part of the group of 10 immediately following 18110 in VIN sequence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busdude2 Posted May 21, 2018 Share #415 Posted May 21, 2018 Nice pis Dave. I see you got a pic of an old NJT Eagle I thought 5604 was the only Eagle saved. I am glad another one was saved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad another one was saved. There are a small number that are still out there. NJT sold those off very cheaply in 2001, through ABC Bus. I think they were going for only about $8,000 apiece. Believe me they were anxious to get rid of them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busdude2 Posted May 22, 2018 Share #417 Posted May 22, 2018 I bet they were anxious since they were only 12 years old when sold. Many Mci's are about 17-18 years old and still going at NJT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Mci's are about 17-18 years old and still going at NJT. Generally, buses are sold to transit agencies with the expectation of a 12-year lifespan. NJT manages to make most of its equipment last lots longer than that - there are some NJT MCI coaches on the road today that have passed the million mile mark! But as I said, everyone hated those Eagles so much so can you blame NJT for wanting to dump them so quickly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted June 28, 2018 Share #419 Posted June 28, 2018 Will look further into this later but there are some new MCI's 18020 and up on the property. Two confirmed have the VINs JP015005 and JP015006. Do not know where these buses are, or if they have brothers. Like I said, more research into this later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that was year two of the contract. Year One was 17000-17184. Year Two is 17185-17240 and 18001-18129. (I think 17185 is non revenue training unit above and beyond the contract.) As with last year, there may still be a bunch of 18000's before the 19000's start rolling off the assembly line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
