So, here are my observations of the Eastchester scrap lot. There WILL be repeats of what other users have posted previously (apologies in advance), so here are the buses I saw at the lot:

Nova LFSA 1248

MCI D4500CL 3001-3002, 3010, 3012, 3014-3015, 3045, 3049, 3101, 3134, 3155, 3163, 3181, 3190-3191, 3205, 3210, 3225, 3236, 4307, 4309.

Orion Hybrids 3607, 3658, 3770, 3849-50, 3946, 3965, 3981, 4003, 4006, 4079, 4133, 4229, 4235, 4275, 4547, 4549.

Orion VII's 4113, 4378, 4415 are being used as training buses at Eastchester.

Unit has been plagued with issues since 6/1/22 when it was last in revenue service on the B44. Ever since there's been extensive maintenance done to the bus to no avail.

Unit is retired indefinitely and farebox spotted on a 2022 XD40 unit.

4615 still has the farebox and yes plagued with Hybrid system issues. The chances of being scrapped is great especially with the new buses coming in.. So any day from now.

So, I was right with everything else, but the farebox part.. I'm guessing with the other units coming in it's farebox is going to a XD40 (2022)

These were the units removed from service because of Hurricane Ida. Aside from XD-40 unit 7414, some units were on the list from the first page, I do apologize on the repeat and the mis-information but this is for a backtrack for those wondering which units aren't used anymore (also not repairable = heavy damage) : 

Prevost units -> 2645, 2660, 2673 and 2716. Nova units -> 8016, 8400 (minus 8709). Orion VII 4th Gen units -> 7047 and 7049. 

 

7065 and 7076 were restored in passenger service as the damage wasn't that severe from the others that were affected from that storm.

8709 is out because of a collison with a truck in the Spring. 8400 hasn’t seen service since May if the trackers are to be believed.

That bus out of Meredith took heavy damage when Hurricane Ida happened that day. A month later or more from the day the hurricane took place, the bus can no longer run and not repairable when it was inspected.

Damaged from the flooding caused by tropical storm Ida last year. Its been mia ever since along with the aforementioned 2645, 2660, and 2673.

Some Novas and Orions were also damaged by the flooding, but most have been repaired and brought back to service.

Errors in assigned buses at the time.

8016 has extensive mold damage. How is that bus going to be decontaminated before it’s deemed safe for a scrap dealer to handle without spreading mold spores around?

4205: Casey Stengel to scrap. Farebox was moved to recent delivered Nova at Stengel. 

Just because the farebox is removed doesn't mean it's scrapped. It could go to MTA bus. They swap out fareboxes most of the time.

 

Until the bus is at ECH in the scrap lot, I wouldn't say its scrapped until then.
