Transit Enthusiast Posted January 29 Share #5028 Posted January 29 And then there was one...... JFK/Far Rockaway is now the last Depot to operate the OGs, and at the rate the NGs are being transferred, and the 9000s are arriving, they won't last much longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the MTA preserve an Old Gen for what purpose? Do you hear yourself right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted January 30 Share #5041 Posted January 30 the only old gen worth saving was 3783 and they scrapped it. I doubt they'll save any. The Museum doesn't care too much about the buses anymore. 3500 would have also been a bus worth saving as that was the first group to go to BP in the summer of 2006. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slantfan4281 Posted January 30 Share #5042 Posted January 30 (edited) what bus models built after 1980 have been preserved, minus the RTS and the one express bus from ground zero? Edited January 30 by slantfan4281 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, I see it kept at the depot, to be considered as a parts bus for the 137 Next Gens they have It's also missing a farebox. 3594 and 3736 won't be kept.

Calvin Posted January 30 Share #5045 Posted January 30 (edited) Also, I know I shared that post with 3594 and 3736 being retired. However, they are removed as well as fareboxes. I take fault if my post lead to speculation to this week, should of been on the random thoughts thread, although, they were actually retired. I only saw and shared it because I thought it was placed on the wrong thread when it's posted in the pictures section.

DCTransitFilms Posted January 30 Share #5046 Posted January 30 (edited) So this means all 3500s are now officially retired (minus the ones training) and all 2006s overall? Edited January 30 by DCTransitFilms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
