When did they repair 5656???

 

Sent from my SM-G920T1 using Tapatalk

A few years ago.

 

5658 had a scaffolding (and part of a building) fall on the back half of it on the Bx15, while 5656 crashed on the Bx19. They took the front half of 5658 and the back half of 5656 and made a "new" 5656. The bad halves of both buses (presumably renumbered 5658, not that it matters) were put together (for a lack of a better term and sat at Eastchester.

 

Fun fact...

 

Unrelated to those 2 incidents, 5657 caught fire so at one point 5656-5658 were all out of service at the same time.

Yes, that was how all three...in a row...were in accidents. I was waiting for either #5655 or #5659.
