|
Posted by QM18Express on Fri Nov 28 11:57:41 2008 I was going to do this last night however I did not feel like looking for my camera so I am doing this right now. I saw a poster yesterday on the M14D saying about the museum buses. This year it's going to be operating on 9 ROUTES! Yes you read that right, 9 ROUTES! Here are the following routes. M8, M14, M20, M23, M34, M42, M57, M79, and Q32! I know a few routes will surprise ya and yes you are reading this correctly! Thanks for reading! :) |

How are they going to pull this off? It's great news though! Plus the dates are extended from last year almost an extra two weeks. |

They shouldn't put these buses on the M-14 and Q-32,especially during rush hour...what were they thinking?But again the Q 32 is decent route to put them on since you don't have to deal with stop & go traffic.BJC |

The proliferation of routes is going to make it harde to find one without some inside knowledge. I doubt nine historic buses will be running at once. |

A few had stil existed in Far Rockaway before the takeover or somewhere else, along with some fishbowls. They should have been saved. |

I remeber there was this yard next to the command bus depot(Now spring creek) that had an bunch of old RTS's from GBL and command, and some other buses with an varicity paint scheme. Haven't been over there since it got taken over by the MTA so i don't know if there still there.. |

So here's the museum buses below:7144 9098 236 8466 2969 6259 3758 1201 5227 8928 3100 100 5117 4727 1059 2151 7340 3006 1502 275 4904 3865 10001 623 621 We know last year we saw 100, 2151, 4727, 5117, 7340. I know 1201, 236, 5227, 3006, 1502, 275, 4904, 3865, 10001, 8466, 8928, 621, 623 run. What is the status of 7144, 9098, 2969, 6259, 3758, 3100, 1059? Which of the running buses and possibly the rest of the museum fleet would be running? |

I forgot a zero geez.1. Forgetting a letter in a word is a bit more forgiving than missing a digit in a number. 2. I doubt they'd run 10001 on the Q32. Maybe 5227, but not 10001. Bus 10001 will be on the M79. :) |

However, one of the better chances to catch them during the midday may be around 1:45 PM or so when they get ready to pull out of Quill. |

Will they also be putting them on the street on display parked like they did a year or two ago when they had the the Centennial for the DOB - I remember they had them at Union Square and in front of GCT with MTA DOB personnel offering historical perspectives on the buses.I'm really looking forward to seeing them on the Q32 and the M79, it will be nice to take them across the park to the River Basin. |

I'll have to stop guessing but I can only see them using 100 2151 5117 4727 7340 like last year. 5227 should be out there too. What happened to 3758? 1059? This is very exciting! |

That yard in East New York on Fountain ave has at least 2 fishbowls. That 1001 was the 1979 slantback been gone about 5 years from property. That bunch 1001-1015 were the worst buses I had to ride in HS. God I hated them. The only times I broke down coming home from school was on those pieces of stuff |

If they were cared for properly they run. Westcher County RTS's were 8V71 also, but depending on the contract carrier that had them they were great or sucked. Buses that Club, Mt Kisco or Plesantville were rockets. Ones from Liberty and Bronxville were dogs an old timer told me when I worked for the Bee-line. |

Yeah - All of those slopeback RTS-03 in the NYC area had the DD 8V71 engine. Those at GBL looked and sounded like crap very quickly. Interesting enough, Triboro used theirs pretty much only in express service for several years. |

As I know from last year, unless you are posting from the inside of the bus in service, it's impossible to know when and where the buses will be ahead of time. |

But as someone else noted, this just makes it that much harder to find a bus in service. I'd probably rather it be one route only, but again, since this is to benefit regular passengers, that wouldn't make much sense.Thanks for the poster. |

I never saw them as slopebacks they had regular AC by the time I noticed them. I would routinely let them go by on Flatbush ave on my home and wait for something else to show up |

You can always lurk in areas where more than one bus route intersects. (West 34th Street and 7th Ave, Lincoln Center area, etc) but the spread of routes and length of some (M20 and Q32) make it more difficult to catch. |
