You guys won't believe this, but I saw 2118 going into Montgomery with "004 Montgomery Mall" on its sign!! Could Northern have swapped with Montgomery too?

Oh, and 6013 on the S2 yesterday afternoon at 16th & Irving. So weird to see something besides an Orion V on the S's on Sundays..

Is Northern trying to test new buses? I saw a D40LFR on the 70 before now 6013 on the S2? Guess there switching buses back and forth with Landover since Landover are getting some 2100's series.

Well this one goes into that huh? file.

I saw 6019 deadheading up 14th street just north of Constitution avenue.  This was in the am.

HELLO EVERYONE

The reason being folks are seeing Landover Hybirds is that yes they are training operators on them because when the DE41LFR's/DE62LFR's are sent to northern for the S9 line and regular service. You cant just jump on a hybird an go so they have to get trained on them. 
What kinda buses are going to pop up next  ...................

I knew that. They are DE42/62LFAs. But why did they chose Landover's DE40LF's? They could've gotten some of MoDi's hybrids.
