Unfortunately I was only able to get 1 MARTA pic, here it is, then the rest is from New Orleans

Nice photos.  Any idea if the WMATA rejects are still in service down there?

which ones are those? I do not have any knowledge of the fleet down there. All I know is that NORTA has all Orion VII NGs (as far as I saw) and MARTA has a more diverse fleet.

The WMATA rejects are a handful of Orion V's that NORTA bought that would have been the rest of WMATA's 4400's had they not rejected them. If any survived Katrina, they'd probably be rush-hour only at this point if they didn't strictly retire them at 12 years.

NORTA bought some DE60LFR's earlier this year and I think that they got a few DE40LFR's too.

The WMATA rejects definitely ran post-Katrina, I saw a few when I was there in the fall of 2006.
