NIMCO is a scrap dealer in Newark.  They bid on all of the MTAs retired buses.

There are 10 new TICS at NW Division.  Therefore, you can probably locate some of them on the 54 & 91.  Both routes run past Penn-North Metro Station.  (NE corner near the drug store.)

The Flxs only operate during the peak hours.  I recommend Fayette or Baltimore Sts. as well as Eutaw & Saratoga Sts. Downtown.  Routes 15, 19 & 23.

The first group of 90 buses has been delivered to NYC Transit.  They have been assigned to Michael J Quill Depot in Manhattan.

George:

Great pics.  Would it be possible to adjust the lens so you can get the  entire bus into the picture?    Enjoyable pics otherwise.  Living in Baltimore, I don't get the opportunity to observe too many Washington area buses.  I depend on you guys for that process.

Keep them coming.
