DE42LFA #6394 seemed to have been repainted recently as it has the red curve under the windshield that you see under Xcelsior hybrids and Orion VIIs.

Sweet! The only thing I don't like from this is that when the time comes for those buses to be rehabbed, it will be harder to determine which ones are rehabbed unless you look closely and see a rehab number on the front. Do you remember seeing the "local" decals on that bus, whether or not they have been removed?

Actually, I don't remember looking to see if the bus still had that feature. I might go out fanning this Friday to take a better look at what's going on with West Ox as I rarely report about them anymore.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know where NABI BRT-42 #8001 is at this time? I think it's on property, but I don't know where? Also, any info as to when the production buses will arrive?

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

5403 and 5419 are back online. Although, I don't think 5419 is rehabbed yet. We'll see

6125 is back (attachment)


UPDATE:

6172 is back as well. I think when I saw it online a few weeks ago, it was a test or something, I knew it was too early...

Orion VII OG CNG #2674 is no longer a REX bus. Saw it earlier today at Pentagon with a local red paint scheme. Are they going to remove the REX paint from #2675-2685 as well?

[Chargerdodge9]

Also spotted PRTC Omniride Orion V #182 on the SR/1 line this afternoon (which I missed  ).
