Juan833Blue Posted March 22, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 22, 2009 I hear that Howell has some of the New MCI's, but could there be another garage that can get these New MCI's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 319 isn't a Howell route and requires restroom equipped buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaback9 Posted March 23, 2009 Share #10 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm not into buses but on Friday morning I saw a few of the buses in question on my way up Route 9 in the Freehold area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted March 23, 2009 Share #13 Posted March 23, 2009 That boy is pretty. I had a feeling they would go to Howell. No Engine Brakes on em tho, thats the sad part. The 319 is outta Egg Harbor and Medowlands. However it'll be really easy for one to say they seen these CTs on the 319. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted March 23, 2009 Share #14 Posted March 23, 2009 Not all, the ones that were rejected. NJT picked up 17 of these bad boys. So which ones out of the order were rejected? And what's happening to the rest of them? @MTAGuy: That's a nice bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly sure, but 2210-2268 are the only ones accepted, 2269 and up were rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted March 24, 2009 Share #16 Posted March 24, 2009 Probably defective or changed part that (NJT) wanted no part in. (pun intended). Wow, that's a sexie bus! - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted March 26, 2009 Share #17 Posted March 26, 2009 actually, 18 busses, and i saw bus # 7108 on route 139 last sunday leaving port authority. sad that i didn't have my camera. the only big difference with these busses other than the powertrain is that they have rear route displays and a revised headlight design, courtesy of the CT designation.

aemoreira81 Posted April 4, 2009 Share #20 Posted April 4, 2009 Not all, the ones that were rejected. NJT picked up 17 of these bad boys. NJT actually got 18 (7101-7118). Here is 7103. The only thing that is NJT-spec about these buses is the exterior paint. These buses are clones of MTA Bus and NYC Transit MCIs otherwise (except engine).

Which makes me wonder, what's keeping the from putting the rest into service? I know someone asked this before, just restating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They formerly had a manual one on the top of the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful; these buses also have rear destination signs for which NJT has no use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted April 5, 2009 Share #25 Posted April 5, 2009 i wonder if NJT would pay Cummins to upgrade the ISM-410 in the bus with an engine brake, i mean, come on... 345 braking horsepower;)B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
