2567 at the DC DMV, should be home soon

<vehicle id="2567" lat="38.877853" lon="-77.011597" secsSinceReport="33" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

2632 also around the DC DMV area

<vehicle id="2632" lat="38.879253" lon="-77.009422" secsSinceReport="149" predictable="false" heading="90" speedKmHr="6.408"/>

edit - 2044, 2047, and 2051 moved to Montgomery (2045 remains offline, but knowing WMATA, it could be anywhere from CET to Landover to West Ox, etc...)

<vehicle id="2044" lat="39.046841" lon="-77.107597" secsSinceReport="142" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>
<vehicle id="2047" lat="39.047554" lon="-77.108368" secsSinceReport="85" predictable="false" heading="75" speedKmHr="22.5"/>

so it looks like 2046 is the only remaining Orion VI at Western that's online.

in addition to 2045 - 2018, 2021, 2034, and 2064 are offline

3941 has no data.

So, none of the 4400s have gone yet. I'm wondering if WMATA's next 40-foot order is going to include any buses with suburban seating...
