Yesterday Orion VII #2532 was the "warming bus" at Foggy Bottom most of the morning for the Blue/Orange shuttle between Rosslyn and Farragut West. I think the rehab number was #1442 but not 100% sure since I didn't write it down. Also to note Four Mile started the shuttle then Southern Ave came in about 11am with there fleet of LFR's.

I saw a whole convoy of LFRs coming up Pennsylvania Avenue heading down on the 36 with my buddy on Saturday. I think about 6 or so (plus a 34). I so wish I had gotten some video of that.

Also, I rode 2532 on the 7A just last week. Got a pic of it at Shirlington.

Though not considered an oddity anymore, it's the first time I saw a 30 footer doing the G8 in the evening. It was 3005.

2073 and 2074 are back at Montgomery, saw them on the T2 and J2, respectively.
2822 is painted in Express colors
Rohr 1274 and 1275 have the new bright interior lights like the rehabbed and newer trains

Saw Flxibles #4053 & #4060 driving up New York Ave from I-395 to Bladensburg Rd a little after 10am this morning. Also saw Ikarus #5218 around 6:45pm on the X2 at 7th/H St.

Wondered where 2822 was. I haven't seen 2825 out yet either let alone 2460-2463.

I haven't seen 2818, 2819, and 2821 yet, but I'm guessing they've been painted as well? Also I think someone on here mentioned that they saw 2463 in express colors on the 79, but nothing official as of yet.
