I believe that was after you saw me, I was just about to get the shot as you drove by. It wasn't until you drove away that I realized who that was.
So yeah 8007 is the first (and so far only) WMATA NABI 40-BRT that I ever rode

Cool, so far I rode on #8005 and #8011. I almost rode #8007, but I was too lazy to get off the 10B (#2531 just sounded way too good). Anyone know when #8012 and higher are going to be deployed?

That is the #1 question that's been asked for the past month or so. I don't know the answer, but we'll see them when we see them. Right now let's enjoy the Orion Vs while we still can.

And you know what, I think I going to start fanning the C40LFs more. I've been living in the DMV since summer 2005 and I've only rode them twice (including this past Saturday). Man oh man did #2412 sound amazing!

lol, easy for you to say. WMATA took all of VA's Orion Vs, so it's going to be much harder for me to track them. Almost caught #2112 at Fort Totten station, but the B/O was OOS. I did see #4299 deadheading somewhere in Annandale last Thursday though. Don't know what that was about. But yeah, when the rest of the BRT 42s start moving, many of Parkways DE42LFAs will be moved elsewhere to Orion V depots. That'll pretty much be the end of the 1997s and the beginning of the end for the 2000s, because I'm sure that many of those are going to go to Storage for the time being. One thing I noticed with WMATA is that whenever a major bus fleet is about to retire, any units that are in VA or in DC get sent to Maryland depots. They did that with the 1992 Orion Vs, the 1990-91 Flexible Metro Bs, and the 1995 Flexible Metro Es.

Love the pics guys, keep them coming!


George-Was the pic taken before or after I saw you? If it was before, I was parked behind the bus.

Also, forgot to mention that I saw NABI BRT-60 CNG #5416 getting stuck along the X2 line while making a turn. My bus (#2412) had past by it.
