damn u beat me to it yet again

oh well but I found this: 5311 at CET

<vehicle id="5311" lat="38.941158" lon="-76.878807" secsSinceReport="13127" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

and no info showing for 5315 (i could make a huge list of what else is offline but it's not that important)

and 6506 is back online, still at Bladensburg

<vehicle id="6506" lat="38.9218789" lon="-76.971138" secsSinceReport="2657" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

anyone else notice that route 74 uses nothing but 6500s?

edit:
if 2501 is back, 3032 should be back later today or tomorrow as well. if that's the case, a new unrehabbed bus will probably take it's place as well. 2613 here looks like it may have been on the way to Bladensburg but the GPS stopped updating after passing 14th and New York NW (though i've observed plenty of drivers would take the 395 up to NY Ave instead, but who knows...)

<vehicle id="2613" lat="38.898998" lon="-77.031822" secsSinceReport="17728" predictable="false" heading="180" speedKmHr="35.388"/>

3032 back at FMR

2462 is not only online, but it's back in service! For the last 2 days it was on the P6 and would have posted the sighting but this site was down

Yesterday, I saw 2711 at Davidsonville Park and Ride. It should be back at FMR by next week.

Three more 42/4300s are back online. 4262 is at Annex, 4309 and 4335 are at Montgomery.

EDIT: And, to my dismay, its replacement is 2708; another rocking John Deere that's about to get neutered.

You know, I wonder what WMATA plans to do with those engines...

6178, 6179, 6180, 6181, 2210, 2211, 2212, 2213, and 2214 are all at Montgomery (I saw 6179 on the Z6 earlier).

NewFlyer9736BCT · January 10, 2012, 07:17:05 PM

aha, I knew the 7100s would displace something, I thought it would be the 6300s going to West Ox (since 6347 and 6348 are there), and I kinda expected this, but not the first thing I had in mind. Also, I can't believe it, not only did Montgomery get ALL their 6100s back (except 6182 which should be back soon), they're starting to get some of the ex-Landover ones, amazing...

I did happen to see (via nextbus) 6183 and 6192 at Western Division, idk why they're there, but they're there...

<vehicle id="6183" lat="38.958317" lon="-77.085167" secsSinceReport="86" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>
<vehicle id="6192" routeTag="Y8" lat="38.957851" lon="-77.085342" secsSinceReport="324" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

also, if it's any consolation, we at least still have 2633 and 2716 unrehabbed, which have awesome JD engines
and if you ask me, 2656 is back pretty early, I'm pretty sure 2634, 2652, and 2723 came to Bladensburg first (and definitely 2711)

edit - 2032 at FMR? okay then...
<vehicle id="2032" routeTag="24T" lat="38.84367" lon="-77.053246" secsSinceReport="246" predictable="false" heading="30" speedKmHr="20.916"/>

edit 2 - looks like Western displaced an Orion VI to Montgomery as well
<vehicle id="2051" lat="39.046867" lon="-77.10746" secsSinceReport="1720" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

edit 3 - 2176 and 2177 have moved to Northern

Oh, I almost forgot: 2162 is back at Northern as well.

2706 is still offline... How much you wanna bet that when it shows up online again, it'll be at Johnson Truck Center like 2671 and 2726?

79MetroExtraMD · January 11, 2012, 01:52:55 PM

Wait. That's really odd because I saw 2162 running out of Western just a couple days ago.

DCAreaTransitFan · January 12, 2012, 07:34:03 PM

i wonder if this a glitch or something but aparrently 2821 is in a neighborhood somewhere in silever spring <body copyright="All data copyright WMATA Washington 2012.">

NewFlyer9736BCT · January 13, 2012, 06:49:34 PM

6335, 6336, and 6337 are now at west ox, id post the xml codes but im on my phone and cant copy and paste certain stuff

edit - here they are

<vehicle id="6335" lat="38.848675" lon="-77.378326" secsSinceReport="226797" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>
<vehicle id="6336" routeTag="52" lat="38.848785" lon="-77.378326" secsSinceReport="86283" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>
<vehicle id="6337" lat="38.848839" lon="-77.378357" secsSinceReport="50113" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

so West Ox has a pretty diverse set of 6300s, from 6301-6309, and a few 6330s, 6340s, and 6390s. from past observations (like all the 6100s moving to Annex and most of Northern's 2100s moving to Royal), West Ox may be moving forward to become a primarily 6300s, another factor could be that they have a lot of 4200s which are gonna go soon anyways.

edit 2 - 6307 and 6506 (again) at Bladensburg, 6352 and 6592 at some Cummins place in Glen Burnie, 6389 and 6457 at Johnson Truck Center, 6393 was apparently at Western then came back?, 6514 at CET, and 6384 has no data (yeah I was that bored that I looked up the DE42LFAs)

Seems like a few years ago when Bladensburg also did some K6 work.
