November 2009 Observations

[WayneNYC]

Ok 6104 was on the 34 which means either Annex gave back the Suburban D40LFRs to Montgomery or Annex sent some more Flx Es to CET.

Another possibility... 6104 could still be a Montgomery bus and was pulled to cover that 34 trip.

[Scrabbleship]

Are 915521 & 925528 still around?

the question really is: "is 925529 still around?"

that I don't know, but 5529 is the last Orion I that I have seen in service, by now, I hate to say that it's probably gone like all the other Orion Is...but who knows maybe it's still around. As for 5501, 5502, 5527, 5534, and 5537 (the other survivors of the mass Orion I retirement), I haven't seen those in an even longer period of time, I think those are gone as well.

I saw 5529 a few weeks ago driving into Nicholson. It MIGHT still be around but that sighting was the first one I had of an Orion I since the summer at that time.
