Edited October 7, 2023 by Calvin Unit in bold means it's been substituted in which units are found as retired or not. 3253 was by mistake to be put as heavy maintence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 10, 2023 Share #4802 Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) At JFK Depot, I apologize for the redundant repeat but this is a note that as of now, 4401 is removed from passenger service and held for parts (retired only from service but kept at the depot in need for parts). This bus is next to the two LFS that are being tested for service in the future (seen from a photo as well) and the farebox, radio and some front parts have been removed from the unit. * It's been sitting at the same spot next to 3600 as a parts unit and 3531 in spotting from the depot sidewalk.

Calvin Posted October 11, 2023 Share #4803 Posted October 11, 2023 3508: JFK retired from service. A cone is placed in the middle of the unit as it’s being removed at this time with the Next Gens from BP that’s close to it, 4625. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the few that has the 2004-2005 destination signs similar to 6490-6689. I think #3502 and #3512 are others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 4686 unretired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 14, 2023 Share #4808 Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the note on 4686 being active from the above post. * As of today, 10.13.23: 3500 at JFK is now retired and to scrap. This unit last week has its OMNY base turned off but today, this unit has no more Farebox.

Just to answer this once and not go off topic after, yes most of their Orions remain in service. The units were to be all retired by recently implemented Proterras however they're still around as the Proterras have issues. (That's why JFK ordered a few D40LFs from another agency to fill in for when Proterras can't make service). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
