December 2009 Observations

[Scrabbleship]

5438 on the Y5
6209 on the J5 (first D40LFR suburban there in a while)

[Annex4421]

Ok I saw 2 F4 buses at PG Plaza and both were packed but what does it matter anyway its doesn't need "artics"

...and I saw 5438 leaving Glenmont (northbound) on the Y and what appeared to be 5216 arriving at Glenmont about 2 minutes apart.  Neither bus had standees, so I guess one could conclude that the Y's don't need artics???

[Annex4421]

I was being sarcastic I knew the Y's needed artics.

[Tristan]

Saw a Knight Rider Orion V, two more regular Orion Vs, and a DE42LFA deadheading north on I-395 at the Shirlington Rotary exit.  Not sure where they came from or where they were going, but it looked like a possible garage move.

That's peculiar. What time did you see this?

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

6383 on the Q2
4308 is no longer wrapped in that green ad thing
9353 on the T18 and 9364 on the F6 (both are orange crushed)
6044 broke down while on the T18 eastbound on Rhode Island Ave, 9353 was the next T18 so that caused it to be crowded
6158 is missing a number on the front
6456 on the Y9
6460 on the Q2
6461 not in service at Wheaton (probably a C2)

[Tristan]

Somewhere around 7:30p, and the first three were together, convoy style, followed carlengths behind by the 4th (an Orion V)

So that rules out West Ox deadheads.
