How come most of the Orion VII CNGs are not showing up on the WMATA GPS system?

Today I saw New Flyer DE40LFR #6049 and D40LFR #6174 parked on 6th St behind Jackson Graham with "Driver Training" on the sign.

Saw D40LFR #6101 rehabbed at Eastover this afternoon. Also saw someone with a "Sound Transit" vest at the DC Streetcar facility on South Capitol St.

Dropped by Bladensburg today and saw 6214 and 6215 awaiting/being rehabbed, as well as 6187.
In addition, there were 3 un-numbered D40LFRs, two of them are in the new scheme while the 3rd one is still in the old.
2463, 3072, and 6487 are still sitting there, awaiting repairs.
And lastly, 6181 was driving on South Dakota Avenue with the sign saying "Driver Training", looks like it was headed to Bburg

What happened to #3072?

I saw 4293 on the Q6 about 25 min ago, I didn't think this bus was still alive.

Minor accident. I don't know any further details.

Chargerdodge9 · August 14, 2013, 11:23:04 PM

And haven't #6487 been out for the last two years or so?

C40LF_2464 · August 17, 2013, 08:42:37 AM

There is a DE40LF @ Blade awaiting rehab. I forgot to get the number. And 6487 was in a BAD accident.

Stopped by Bladensburg not too long ago, unfortunately I couldn't see any buses in (or about to be in) rehab, but I did see 5307, which might mean that that bus will be the next to be repainted

Here's something you don't see every day. While coming home from Myrtle Beach, spotted a PRTC OMNIRIDE 2004-2005 MCI D4500CL heading southbound in North Carolina! Anyone know where it was going by any chance?
