Hello all, Looking into taking Amtrak sleeper service both trips on the following routes soon: Deland (DLD) to New York Penn (NYP), NYP to DLD. Anyone have thoughts on the Viewliner Silver Service sleeper service? My trip would consist as this: Deland (DLD) to New York Penn (NYP) / MTA LIRR Hungtinton Branch | Vice Versa

So recently 2 companies From the world of communists and goods have hit the block and that is BYD for electric buses and CRRC for the traditional culture of rail commuters and I think these 2 are crap! So I am interested to hear what people of think of CRRC and of course BYD

Decided to make a thread for any MTA changes. Orion VII CNG #7560 is no longer retired and is back in service (currently on the B16).

Because there were so many buses part of the MTA, we need to organize the entire roster based on the years they were acquired. It's so difficult to go through a roster that big. For example, all buses acquired between 1980-1989 will have the Grummans, GMC and TMC RTS buses, Blitz Fishbowls, and MC-8s. I'll begin work on it by doing the 1960s era buses first. As more buses are retired from the MTA, it's now or never.

The program was dropped when they saw no real savings from it over buying new buses. The rebuilt RTS-04's survived through 2004, when the Orion VII hybrids showed up to replace them and the other RTS's.
