Not that I have any but note the shorter title so in the email it does not get confused with the observations thread.

Am I seeing orange destination signs on 6455?

Also, 4330 (Montgomery) & 4386 (Landover) have white-over-red ads mirroring that of 2106.

Post by: 79MetroExtraMD on March 10, 2010, 10:59:54 AM
No, its the same multicolored signs as the other express ones. They just appear amber from the programming.

Two sets of photos. Part 1 is this...taken on January 26, 2010 and I forgot to upload these photos until now:
on that day, the Shady Grove and Rockville stations were closed, so shuttle buses were all over those stations providing transport to the nearest open station (Twinbrook in that case). here is 5320 seen at Rockville as a shuttle bus:
(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA1/mb5320b.jpg)
and the rest... (remember, this was over a month ago, so 5443 was still a Northern bus)
(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA2/mb6374a.jpg)(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA2/mb6335a.jpg)(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA2/mb5443a.jpg)(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA2/mb5446a.jpg)

Post by: NewFlyer9736BCT on March 12, 2010, 10:52:45 AM
PART 2: these were taken much more recently (last Tuesday (March 9) to be exact)
I found the straight-back Metro-B...unfortunately I didn't get a rear shot. (this is 9305, not 9306, in case you can't really see the number)
(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA/mb9305a.jpg)

and the rest...
(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA2/mb6126a.jpg)

(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA2/mb6359a.jpg)

This one is 5448 in case you can't see the number
(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA2/mb5448a.jpg)

2815-2817 still displaying the route as "7" rather than "79". this one however had the destination set to "Bladensburg and V NE"
(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA2/mb2816e.jpg)

2801 still having the route number problem as well...

Post by: Scrabbleship on March 12, 2010, 11:01:07 AM
Isn't there a way to replace the more-broken-than-not Titan sign on 2801 and isn't there a way to finally allow 2815/2817's signs to actually display the full route number?
Title: Re: March 2010 Photos
Post by: Tritransit Area on March 12, 2010, 11:46:49 AM
Is there any reasoning behind the colors ART chooses for its bus's signs?  Also, I wish the LFRs were being repainted in the same style as the C40LFRs, with the black underneath the windshield, etc.
Title: Re: March 2010 Photos
Post by: 79MetroExtraMD on March 12, 2010, 12:21:51 PM
It's the way the pixels on the sign are refreshing that makes it look like different colors. It's more noticable on Twinvision signs than Luminator. So sometimes the exposure will come out deep red, deep green, or amber.

Nice shots Wayne...a question: where were the pics of 2624 and 9318 taken? I'm assuming it's the H Street bridge over the tracks at Union Station but I could be wrong.

Yup - You're correct.  9318 was heading eastbound on the X1 and 2624 was westbound.

Not very many shots from Friday, but something at least. I missed a bunch of good opportunities while I was fanning PG County, including 9488 on the F1 and 6167 on the T18, but here's what I got...

Nice shots everyone!  When did Fairfax get the D40LFRs with frameless windows?  Also, do ART's newest NABIs only have amber LED signs?

Can't wait to return and do some serious transit-fanning!

ART has Twinvision Chroma signs. Those signs have a very high refresh rate and the color is a mix of green and red so some shots will come out with green or red signs. Plus, it also has to do with the color they set for the signs. Oddly, Luminator Spectrum signs don't seem to have the same refresh rate so you can get pics of them with the color set on the signs.

Interesting.  So the signs in the pictures of the new NABIs above aren't necessarily Amber, but may be green?

I really should go out and photofan the system.  Oy, so much to do in NoVA!

Ah cool!  Then I'm not crazy, because I was wondering how I would've missed that they were orange signs when I was riding them the last time.  Thanks!

6405 on the Q4?

If you look closely the block is a West Ox block. The sign was incorrect.

Great pics.

Looks like PRTC finally put up the new bus stop signs that were being talked about in 2004 when I just started working there.  What an undertaking what must have been.  When I had to change all of the stops along Route 1 from Woodbridge VRE to Quantico with the old style that was bad enough because certain stops had to be different than the others because of the landmarks listed.

I see that 6427 and others of its class continue the DC area tradition of mispronouncing/misspelling "Silver Spring" as "Silver Springs".
