I spotted 8089, which I believe is the highest numbered New Flyer CZFer on some Southern route today. It may have been the 7. I'm not sure. You'll never see a New Flyer Allison or ZFer on the 7 ever again, for the 7 is 8000 central.

The reasona s to why I said "never again" revolves around the reality that Southern has lost all of their remaining 5600s to Midvale. I spotted 5643(rode) on the C, 3800 block today & with that in mind,5636,5637,5638,5343,5644,5645 & 5646 have been moved to Midvale. :blink:

I meant to include 5643, not 5343. I spotted 5337 & a Neo EZ on the 25 today.

I also spotted 3351 & 3355 on the 5 today, at the same time. Goodbye Neo EIs for it's been nice knowing you. :rolleyes:

I rode the 36 this morning en route to 70th & Elmwood Avenue westbound @5:45am when the operator on car 9005 told everyone that the wire(overhead) came down westbound along Elmwood Avenue between 65th & 66th Streets, forcing all westbound service to be disrupted for a good part of the am rush hour.

I spotted 9000 & 9086 in revenue service today. 9100 is at Elmwood for the time being.

5041 on the 15,9020 block. 5041 has grafitti in the back exterior of the bus.

As usual, the junk assigned to Southern seems to permeate their lines on a daily basis but as I was walking in the Paschall & Elmwood areas I noticed & saw the following:

5142 & 5317 on the 108, as well as 5134 @ Island & Elmwood Avenues.

The traffic lights along Bustleton Avenue in the Bustleton area between Welsh Road(Old Bustleton Avenue) & Haldeman Avenue(inclusive of streets crossing Bustleton Avenue - Fulmer,Bowler & Haldeman) are out as I speak. They're not working.

The 19 crosses at Grant & the 88 crosses & turns at Welsh/Old Bustleton Avenue. I wonder as to how SEPTA made arrangements for cross traffic along those two routes yesterday & with the 88 today.


As for yesterday, I spotted NABIs on the 28(5079,5105 & 5106). i also spotted a ZFer on the 20, which is weird, for Comly never runs their ZFers on weekends & holidays in revenue service.

However:

On Saturday October 8,2005, there was some event going on in Central Philadelphia & SEPTA offered charter/shuttle service between the meeting place & hotels, with the Comly ZFers providing the entire service.

5621 had a rather active weekend in promoting job opportunities to SEPTA Midvale riders.

5621 ran on C, 3820 block on Friday, H/XH,3258 block on Saturday & is on 3803 block on the C as I speak.

On Friday, I spotted 2336 on the 15 & I've never seen this car in revenue service. I spotted 9000 & 9086 running rampant on the Woodland routes on Friday. 9086 was involved in a little accident & 9000 will be 26 come this June/July(test car delivered on SEPTA property in August 1980). :P
