Considering the fact that it tracked at Stengel 49 minutes ago it’s not at Eastchester.

Okay well there's a bus at EC not sure if its there now though and there's a pic of it and it said 4677 wish I could show the image for proof on here but I'm not able too.

Saved for the museum?

It may be or that it's another training bus in-case new ops are in need of training for this bus model. From what I saw in a group, it's sitting in maintenance area with MCI D4500 4306. Although, there were museum buses inside the facility as well like Model 111-CC 4727 and Model T6H 5227.

i doubt it's a museum bus, if that were the case, That would be a majot L as 3783 which is probably a soda can by now was the last old gen built and like retards they scrap the damn bus.

Not always the last bus built is the last one saved for the museum. The last one that RUNS is preserved

Hold doesn't mean retired.

About a week ago, I had the occasion to walk around Eastchester Scrap Yard thanks to a visit by the Motor Bus Society Annual Convention.  Here are some additional buses that won't be returning to service.  Some are not yet on the scrapped list, and some are being held for legal reasons but have so much damage that there is no way these are coming back.

 

2755 Prevost, heavily stripped; 0090 the former FP 4149 from 1985 that was used as a Special Command Center Bus; 709 NF CNG; 1020 NF artic; 5476 Nova Artic; 4486 Orion VII; 7414; 8709.

8016 was one of the flood damaged buses.

* 4686: CS retired from service. This unit has no farebox while passing through the Citi field overpass. 

--

* About 4008, appreciate the update. It was listed back then on its past updates and no word has said to being retired. But, then, it was stated as it's running but no GPS as a number error to the list (not a big concern to this thread as a big issue).
