The 61 has blocks running from 3701 through 3727. So you must have meant block 3701.

Some interesting sightings recently:

3425 was seen heading eastbound on Olney Avenue last Wednesday, just west of Broad Street, with a "K - ARROTT TERMINAL" sign.

7101 was on the 48 this afternoon, and 3372 was on the 3.

8032 (Southern) was spotted on the 18 this evening, and unlike most instances where buses are borrowed from other depots, paper signs were not used to display the correct destination, because the regular sign had the correct destination all along.

Someone was telling me yesterday evening that 3433 is at Midvale, not in the scrap pile("junkline") at that. Maybe one more Neo sighting at Midvale before they bite the dust.

It might be getting ready to be sold off. I've seen 2 painted Neoplans at Midvale in the general bus storage area, but I have no idea what their numbers are.

I saw 5394 the other day on the 22, and rode 5341 on the 98, which was basically sounding like it was dying - it was quite slow too.

Additionally this morning I saw 5413 deadheading up Germantown pike by Chestnut Hill College - I wonder why it was all the way up here!

in response to 2321 car the car was being tested on the straights of 63rd steeet on a test run the error comes into play because the shop guy ASSUMED the switch at 63rd & landsdowne ave. was an automatic switch but its not its manual you must stop and use track iron to switch track but this guy broke all the rules and as a result he was trying to come back to the depot at almost 30 mph for a trolley thats moving rule states you stop completly at all foward facing switches to check for direction but he did not and as a result the switch was set for the rt. 10 in service down landsdown ave. and he came thru it with intensions of going straight and brought the trolley thru a turn at 30 miles an hour and all hell broke loose luckly no one was killed. :( septa did not refurbish enough of the pcc cars instead of 18 it should have been 23 to 28.
