[NewFlyer9736BCT]

RIDE ON:
085734 on the 17 (Silver Spring)

are you serious?

I just removed it from my observations list from yesterday.  5734 is now @ Gaithersburg, 5735 remains @ Silver Spring.

Good...either way, I saw 5734 today at Shady Grove...on the 61 I think

now all we need to look for is 5726...

6206-6210 are Montgomery
6212-6217 are Annex
I want to say 6211 is Montgomery but I'm not 100% sure

[WayneNYC]

Yes, 6211 still lives at Montgomery.  At least it did up til last week.

To:  ir0cq09:
Montgomery got 6101-6106 from the Annex in return.

forgot to post my own sightings:

Ride-On's 5017 being tested at Silver Spring...
It's a baby 30' Gillig in the new theme, unfortunately, I couldn't get a shot of it, and it didn't go into Wayne or Bonifant Aves, it just deadheading south through Georgia Ave.

FINALLY there is something else at Montgomery other than 6393...we now have 6394 as well. I rode this on the J2 to Montgomery Mall, I got a shot of it before it left, then I saw it leave going back to Silver Spring. Why do I say that? Because I went to the mall for a quick bathroom break, came out, and saw another DE42LFA leaving the bus station, except this one was deadheading out of there. It couldn't have been 6394 because it just left going back to Silver Spring, and it couldn't have been 6393 because just before I went to Montgomery Mall, I saw that bus starting a Y9 run.

Sorry about all that, all I mean to say is that Montgomery has at least two more DE42LFAs.

If any one sees Ride-On's 5726 and/or WMATA's 4307, please let us know.

Well you'll see this on the news tonight.  One of ART's new NABIs got into an accident on Washington Blvd, right before Glebe Road.  It was doing the 52 (I guess) and it was off of the road almost infront of an apartment building.  When I passed by the scene there were fire and rescue trucks.  Parked in front of a fire truck was a red compact car, don't know if it was involved in the accident or someone who just pulled off of the road to help.  I don't know if anyone was hurt, I will find out when I see the news tonight.

This morning (just after rush hour ended) saw 2 rehabbed C40LFs on Annapolis Road near Cap Plaza. I remembered the numbers then forgot them. if I'm not mistaken, 2343 was the first one.

[C40LF_2464]

Speaking of 2343 why does it sound like a new bus?

[ir0cq09]

Most Likely because 2343  was just recently rehabbed.Probably needed new engine parts(Just a guess could be wrong)

[79MetroExtraMD]

6393 J2 MC86 @ Silver Spring
6400 S2 NS3 @ Silver Spring (rode this downtown)
6404 36 @ Georgetown (rode this uptown)
6421 S2 NS4 @ GA/Eastern
6451 @ Tenleytown

[C40LF_2464]

6400 is a Northern bus. I saw it on the 54 like 2 months back

[79MetroExtraMD]

I haven't seen 6400 lately, well until today. I don't know where the cutoff is for Northern and Western since Western has 6404 on up.

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

I can't believe I forgot to post this: (from 9/4/09)

4304 on the Q2 headed northbound on Georgia Ave near Seminary Rd...looks like we're getting more from Northern
6329 on the F6 at Silver Spring headed to New Carrollton...it had the old sign programming saying "F6NEW CARRLTN" or something like that

no pics of either unfortunately...
