Maintenance is really shady for NICE I'm noticing.

I wouldn't blame it on them honestly.

XNs across the country have been going up in flames, most notably at Las Vegas and Valley Metro.

There's definitely going to be a recall on the XNs.

Fr? Didn’t knew XNs are going up in flames right now. 

Now that I think about it, one of WMATA’s XN40s was also leaking gas yesterday one of my friends told me.

Can anyone recall the last time an Orion VII NG/3G CNG at NICE caught fire?

2009 Orion 7.501 NG CNG #1707 had a small engine fire back in 2015 while working on the n6 (IIRC), but nothing serious. Not unless you want to count those arrson fires at Cedar Creek last summer when some sobs set fire to 11 retired NG CNGs...

As far as these XN40s go, I assume they are writeoffs..?
