FYI - Since Division 6 doesnt have CNG Fueling capability, the 8100s refuel at Division 7 ( West Hollywood ) before pulling-in to Division 6.

I guess MTA changed plans, I had heard that the 8100s would use a CNG fueling facility somewhere in Santa Monica. Perhaps said facility isn't ready yet, and D7 is a stopgap measure.

Of course the presence of the 8100s means that the end is near for MTA's remaining TMC RTS {sniffle} (Actually, I never cared that much for the 1200s, due in part to their Crapanol Methanol problems before they were converted back to diesel in the late 90s. I got to ride them often when they were new on the 446, as the now-closed Div. 12 had some of them. My favorite all-time RTD/MTA TMCs (in fact my favorite RTS in general) were the 1989 models (2300-2402). I think all of them are now retired as well.)
