Iron Valiant Posted March 8, 2020 Share #2501 Posted March 8, 2020 What’s the status of 6803? Is it still at Eastchester pending repair/scrap? Or has it returned to East New York Depot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has alot to do with scrap, once the XDEs come to those OGs 6690-67xxs @ MV, those will be at the scrap 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimategamer12c Posted March 15, 2020 Share #2509 Posted March 15, 2020 That's odd but not to suprising they did reactivated the Rts and Orion VII CNG before but for this I'm assuming they did it because the situation with eny being short idk for sure I dont even know if the other units will get reactivated or just this one but for now its alive again... also this unit is like #7818 that one didnt track on the bus trackers at the time funny moment to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Valiant Posted March 26, 2020 Share #2517 Posted March 26, 2020 TTMG has 6617 and 6621 active and assigned to East New York Depot. Weren’t those units reported scrap? Also, 6619 isn’t on the roster but supposedly it’s a zombie at East New York Depot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only guess is they are not scrapping the OG’s as of yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted April 8, 2020 Share #2522 Posted April 8, 2020 On 3/31/2020 at 9:51 PM, Calvin said: 3132: to scrap People have to remember that the buses around this age are 15-16 years old. You should be seeing a lot more retirements like this. So far, about 10 of that large order have been retired for reasons related to this. The NYCT batch, by contrast (4300-4329), probably has much less mileage, owing to its early time at QV. Except for UP and its early time at Charleston, these buses rarely ran 7 days a week, while College Point, Eastchester, and Yonkers MCIs have to be ultra-high-mileage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
