(You probably saw one of the 118 pull in trips. They tend to use El Dorados on those.)

Ok, I really did not catch the front sign well. Thanks,Joe.

5617 was spotted on the 23 Saturday; 5640 was on the 18 yesterday.

Speaking of the 23, when were its tracks on Germantown Avenue, crossing Broad Street, paved over?

5625 is Unique among the whole New Flyer fleet as it only has one Stepwell Light as opposed to two at the center doors.

Da Hell is This?!!

5413 On the 68?!

8042 Pulling Midvale Runs?!!!

That's what I Spotted last night.

I first rode 5413 on the 21 (9140 block) to 69th Street around 8:30 to hit up some munchies.


Later that night I see 8042 on the C at Broad & Lehigh. Nothing unusual until I saw OGONTZ - CHELTENHAM signage. On top of that, it had Midvale C block numbers of 8XX.

But the kicker was waiting for the BSO at Broad & Oregon. I hear it. Then I see it. WHAAAT! 5413 on the friggin 68 Express? Blasphemy! Complete with the block numbers of 7686.

This Morning:

3432 going somewhere west on Olney Avenue.

8042 Deadheading somewhere Southbound on Broad St and Olney Ave.

Oh Yeah, I met Bob Brady & Juan Ramos (he's Running For Council).

They told us at 69th Street not to get on a train that was marked in service ,it was defective. I overheard the guys talking about third rail shoe problems. A piece of concrete fell off of the platform at 52nd Street, and passing trains were getting their third rail shoes knocked off. So we took the next train out on the inside track.

I rode it to Frankford. We single tracked between Erie-Torresdale
and FTC. I saw some guys in safety vests walking the Westbound tracks just below FTC. something was amiss.

Also, do any NABI buses have working A/C? I haven't rode one yet this spring.

It really is. That's what they have in mind for the section they paved over on upper germantown Ave., by the Trolley Car Diner.
