Western has the 6300s. Northern might be getting the early 6400s as locals.

6181 on the J9 this morning.  On my way home I'm driving up I-270 and to my delight 6019 suddenly appears on the J9.   Darn, I wish WMATA had more LFs outnumbered the LFRs.

Speaking of the B30...Ken told me he saw 4403 with a B30 side banner like the other 4390s have...

Also, I forgot to mention these from last time:

-4059 on the P6 to Anacostia
-4056 on the 32 to Southern Ave...I thought it was Annex or Western till I saw the B block
