Is that pic of the T underground part of the existing system downtown or something new? I did see during my visit to Pittsburgh a T station being built by Heinz Field so I suspected they were expanding it to Heinz Field which it is good to have the T run to the stadiums which will increase ridership as many prefer taking Mass Transit to sporting events. Like myself. |

That is a drawing of the Gateway Center station once it reopens in 2012. The loop it previously had gone as the tracks now continue in the tunnel to the North Shore. Gateway Center closed in Oct 2009 for the construction. Edited by Jayayess1190, Jun 26 2011, 08:37 PM.

According to members of Transit2Talk, New Flyer #3208 is now in PAT's hands. And here is an informative post on what is new about the 5800 series Gillig's.

Some random thoughts: 1. Nova's are getting harder to come by. Through Oakland I am lucky to see 2-3 per day as I used to see so many more just months ago. 2. Best place to find the New Flyer's is on the P1, though they do get out on 61 series routes with the DD50 Neo artics. 3. More new 5800 series Gillig's are in, though I still have yet to see one. 4. Witnessed a DD60 Neo break down today and fail to restart, their air starters are loud. 5. According to PAT:

From Facebook, 5801-5824 are ISL/Voith, and 5825-5830 are Cummins/Voith hybrids! 5800 diesel's are different from the other Gillig's, they have more vents on the back, idle and take off is much quieter.
