Watching the video on the news the buses burnt to a crisp looked like RTSs to me, thanks for confirming this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought those RTS burnt today were originally at the lot nearby Meadowlands, not the one parallel to Tonnelle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess now they will be. On a side note, that fire looked pretty sus. Hope it wasn't now arsonist scumbags! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46Dover Posted April 21, 2022 Share #8 Posted April 21, 2022 I had seen smoke on my way to my model train club on Route 17 off to the east. When I stopped at the club I saw a Facebook post from a co worker about the fire and thought oh so that’s what that was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted April 21, 2022 Share #9 Posted April 21, 2022 It looks on purpose to me. 7802 wasn’t even touched. I was In Weehawken Lot when I saw the flames start coming up. It blocked the sun momentarily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted April 21, 2022 Share #10 Posted April 21, 2022 I looked at the Google Map of the lot and those buses weren't even parked like that. I saw the dozen or so DesignLine buses, and that one RTS that's being saved for some odd reason, and a whole bunch of others. 7805 was there but in amongst some other buses. I don't want to speculate on why these seven buses but bear in mind that they've all been retired for years and are all about 20 years old.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't 4001-4003 originally at the retired lot nearby Meadowlands garage? And I thought those buses would've been off property by now. Those buses as Ik were moved there as recent few years ago. All the other MCIs that were retired there are gone from the map. Its just the Designline buses, and 1356 plus those seven buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
