The 6100s that came from Landover sounds stronger and when they idle they don't make they tiny rev up sound like the veteran 6100s 6107-6139

Hmm I can't answer that one. I didn't think they even had a special sound to them.

yeah I listen different from others. and where's 6144?

Probably hiding somewhere like 6040 is. And I would love to see some Flx-Es at Landover. Annex's Es do pop up here and there but I haven't seen one lately. Man I need to go to CET NOW! I'm only one bus ride away.

Speaking of DE40LFRs One was sittin at Bladensburg 3 weeks ago with the paint scatched off perhaps a new paint scheme? also 3936 leaned over to the left this bus needs the new paint (Local)

Oh 6040 is at bladensburg with the back like 2627 was Back when 2622-2629 came back in March

LandoverDivision · September 11, 2009, 08:59:55 AM

Oh yeah I did hear it was at B-Burg for repairs. Anyways, something happened to 2627?

Annex4421 · September 11, 2009, 09:03:48 AM

No its ok I was just saying When 2622-2629 came back fron FMR they were "naked" because they were removed of their NVG wrapps and 2627 was sitting there from march to like june without a back otherwise its should be up an running

5407 on the M6? Awkward! But WMATA does some mysterious things.

Annex4421 · September 11, 2009, 09:33:42 AM

This was when Bladensburg did they M6 on weekdays they were backward with it the 5400s almost always ran at the wrong times Plus I remember a 30 footer doing rush hour service once. It was 3014 That smell like a FMR bus was so packed that it was like the bus riding slow literally

LandoverDivision · September 11, 2009, 09:36:15 AM

Again, WMATA = Mysterious. At PG Plaza saw a 30 foot on the R4 then a NABI 60-BRT pops up half an hour later.

Annex4421 · September 11, 2009, 09:46:10 AM

A 60 BRT on the R4? Word? how about 3022 on the X2? BACK IN 2006?
