What Flxibles Have Been Retired as of Late?

I saw Metro-Ds on the road on Friday - what makes you say they are all retired?

I meant to say just about all of them are retired, I rarely see them since I live on Flx E territory

Tristan,

I'd suppose those that you saw on that day were the 9700 series, if not any of the 9800s.

I havent seen any 9700's in a long time then i passed by CET on the train today and i saw a crap load of them sitting there so i think that we might not be seeing em anytime soon

Plus someone mention some 9800s retired at Montgomery.

Ok it seems just like ALL the Metro D's are retired and the Metro Es numbered 4018, 4022, 4032, 4039, 4040, 4046-4051 are sitting at CET possibly waiting retirement or getting stored.

EGADS man!  What's going on down there?!  I have yet to have my final ride on the Metro Es, wasn't planning to say bye bye to ALL of the Metro Ds, and surely didn't think I'd have a second chance of a final ride on my favorite Metro Bs!

I think I may stop by this Thanksgiving!

I saw 9821 that day and decided not to ride it because I needed an Ikarus recording more than a DD50 Metro-D recording (which I have of 9825).  Bad move, huh?

Well most of the Metro D's are retired but as Tristan said there ar still more in sevice  as well as the B's and E's so if you make it here by thanksgiving you'll be in luck.

Where are the E's hanging out nowadays?  Are they still at Royal/NoVa?

The are at the Annex Division and run in southeast DC and Montgomery Division in Montgomery County. and the Blade has some too.

Annex has 4001-4051
Bladensburg has 4052-4065
Montgomery has 4066-4104

it's easiest to find them on Annex and Montgomery routes, but do remember that there are some that are retired so these numbers may be less.

Is 9318 still running?

[TransitGuru1981X]

Am I led to believe that all 18 of the Cummins M11-powered 9800s (#9801-9818) are retired?
