More DE42LFAs are arriving at Shep. In addition to these, I saw 6579, 6580, 6581, and I think 6583 over the weekend.

I've got two things to report as far as Landover goes:

First, for whatever reason, almost all of their DE40LFs and DE40LFRs are not showing up, on either the main API or the stop-by-stop one. I'm assuming they're all still at Landover, since it'd be crazy to have 20+ buses suddenly show up at Bladensburg for rehab all at once, but I hope they come back online soon...

And second, this.

NewFlyer9736BCT · August 07, 2013, 06:14:19 PM

The other day I noticed a lot of Landover buses not showing up online at all, even the Xcelsiors (7012, 7027, and 7154 to name a few), but now 7027 and 7154 are back online, and maybe 7012. I saw that "5" bus online as well, I'm thinking it could be one of the new rehabs to come back this week since apparently nothing else showed up.

NewFlyer9736BCT · August 08, 2013, 01:05:36 PM

"5" is none other than 4209, I'm riding it now and assumed that this bus was off the radar until I checked the stop number that I was just at

RideOn5905 · August 08, 2013, 04:37:37 PM

Okay, good. Glad that's cleared up.

Back to business: Something has finally returned from rehab; its 6101.

It's not that often you see the weekly rehabs return later in the week as opposed to earlier.
That said, 6143 is also back from rehab

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-08-09T09:51:26</DateTime><Deviation>-4.03</Deviation><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>LOOP</DirectionText><Lat>38.883572</Lat><Lon>-76.947197</Lon><RouteID>U5</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-08-09T09:19:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>MAYFAIR-MARSHALL HTS-LINCOLN HTS</TripHeadsign><TripID>16676_51</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-08-09T08:11:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>6143</VehicleID></BusPosition>

I wonder what's up with 6140, that one has been off the radar longer than the others now. I'm thinking rehab 1694 is either that bus or 6016.

West Ox just lost 7-8 DE42LFAs and got nothing back? Really?

Chargerdodge9 · August 11, 2013, 06:43:07 PM

Also, in case this wasn't reported, all of Four Mile Run's Orion Vs are now gone and so are their older TAGS cutaways it seems.

NewFlyer9736BCT · August 19, 2013, 08:55:22 AM

Update: Found 6048.............on the C2

<NextBusPrediction><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>West to Wheaton Station</DirectionText><Minutes>0</Minutes><RouteID>C2</RouteID><VehicleID>6048</VehicleID></NextBusPrediction>

Even though my theories tend to be false, I'll give another one anyway. The real 6048 might actually be in rehab, and its GPS has been hooked onto a recent rehab Montgomery bus. Although, weird things happen on the C2 anyways, so this could actually be legit.
