Regarding NJ Transit's 4th generation ("D") Flxible Metros: * 1872 and 1885 are work buses. I don't know if these will be saved. * 1752 and 1950 are saved by private owners. * 1976 became a second Command Center 190. * 3710 is saved by a private owner. * 3778 is saved by the NJ Transit. If anyone has heard otherwise, feel free to correct me.

Two Orion 5s (174 and 183) are now in NYC. I don't know who they're owned by now.
-
From what I've heard, they are buying back their NJT-leased buses to replace the buses from GO Transit. Apparently the GO Transit buses are beat up, whereas the NJT-leased ones were well-maintained under Academy.
-
Academy is purchasing some of the NJ Transit MCIs that were painted in Academy livery. There's at least a 1931 running (the GO Transit units end at 1930)
-
Apparently 6182-6183 are out of revenue service and being repurposed as money train cars. Does anyone know where I can find images of 6182-6183 as money train conversions, and of 1092-1093, which were recently converted to 8004-8005?

There is a #20 that was formerly 808 from Academy (ex-7871) #19 may be former 811 from Academy (ex-7877) -
LFS-A 1226 was sitting at Eastchester a while back for some reason. Is it back in service?

There is a bus numbered 19 floating around, looks like it's an ex-81x bus from Academy. -
Apparently Transit Systems Unlimited has acquired some NJ Transit RTS-06s. At least 1515 (renumbered to 1215 by Transit Systems) has been spotted in the West Coast.
-
Private Transportation in Brooklyn, NY (operates the B110) acquired 4403 and 4409. There seem to be at least one other unit.

For Dave Mackey (who edits many NJT articles): MCIs 7401-7407, 7410, 7412-7416, 7418, 7505, 7606-7607, 7933, 8027-8029, 8033 are all in storage. MCIs 7491, 8764 are scrap.

I may have seen 808 as another Cong Maten unit - would that be #19 now?
-
I don't know.
-
In fact there are. Someone confirmed that there are units numbered 2129-2132 from Coach Canada. I don't know the exact numbers, and for sure it's not lower 49xx's (the ones with smaller destination signs).
-
Few updates: LFS: * 2119-2123 all reassigned to NYU. * There is a 2132 going around. I don't know what system it came from. Orion 5: * At least 809 was retired and sent to Cong Maten as #18 (someone verify, should be easy as the former academy number hasn't come off yet) MCI: * There is a 1928 running around, also ex-GO.
