Whoa!!!!! Is that a sign from one of the old El Dorado cutaways? Tis nice to see that these '99 Phantoms are still running. Also, LOL with the "80 to Van Dorn St Station"
I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Also, the side and rear signs still work. I've wanted to see a flip-dot/full LED config on a bus.
Also, regarding 2816, those signs STILL don't display the correct destination codes. I have a feeling that they didn't use the same dest numbers for Twinvision as they do for Luminator. This is why I don't like when agencies have multiple signs from different manufacturers.
My first pics of the new FC Xcelsiors and WMATA's BAE Xcelsiors
