Posted by r17-6599 on Mon Jun 11 23:39:46 2012 Got a chance to ride and shoot some NOVA artics on the Q44. First impressions always lasting. First time on an artic crossing the bridge to Queens. No traffic at all!!! A miracle in itself. And that bus (5912) moved!!! Climbed the incline to the bridge very well and sailed over to Queens. Shot 5899 on its return from the Bronx.Njoy jrc

You must have had a better driver on 5912 - I was on it and 6869 zoomed past it on the Whitestone Bridge. (I eventually shot it near the Bronx Zoo.)I also saw 5902 out. |

I actually took the time to ride inside 5912 from the Bronx to Queens today with the same B/O and the same run number shown in your first pic. It was my first time riding an LFS Artic and I wanted to get the experience of riding one on the Q44. It's too bad that it had to terminate at Flushing, but it was worth the ride. I also saw 5899 just before it crossed the Whitestone Bridge to head to the Bronx. |

I would've recognized you (from that TV interview about the TD925 4 years ago) after boarding 5912, but I didn't. Do you remember where you were sitting on that bus? I was sitting in the second last row of the rear section, B/O's side. |

I always conjure up images of dark green Flx new looks when I think of the Q44, just like the 14th St subway will always be BMT standards (to me).The artics are neat and make for some pleasant bus fanning. joe |
