9483 on the C22 (Collington)

What is the number of the only Flx in black red and blue paint job?

[79MetroExtraMD]

I think the 35 footers at Arlington still have them.

Yesterday's sightings
4039 32 @ Friendship Heights
6029 N4 @ Friendship Heights

[Perry]

The only Flx to have that I think is 9492 at least 35 footer wise.

The only Flx to have that I think is 9492 at least 35 footer wise.

Looking at my clips from November, 9489 still has r/w/b with grey skirts as well.

saw 5409 broke down stuck at Minn ave yesterday if i can get enough money for this cord i need to upload pics on my pc ill show you

[WES]

Yes indeed it is 9489 with the 2nd paint scheme which happened to be on the T18 this morning, packed.  I thought the T18 needed longer buses, not shorter ones.  Sad to say a while  back I actually saw a 30 footer on the T18, granted it was during the midday, but still.

wow...this season's Bussian Roulette is looking pretty interesting so far! I wonder how things will go once the newer buses go into service.

BTW yesterday morning I saw both 4217 and 9376 on the G8...9376 looking like it's been freshly rehabbed. Plus, 4091 and 4094 are @ Montgomery...both on the J2 yesterday (add 4091 to the list of buses with purple windows)

Also, it seems like Virginia is going back to the way it used to be...with the upper 4300s in Arlington, some 2000s and lower 4200s back on VA routes...ah yes, good times...
