The Gillig Brt needs the whole front end Yeah. Trimet could repair it and repaint it (like Max Car 235) or it will become the first Gillig BRT of Trimet to be retried. I see the latter being likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseCityBusMan Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 So, the 2nd Type 1 has been retried. Saw on Facebook that Car 102 has been decommissioned. The retirement has just started. Plaining on October 7th to ride MAX again so we will see if the Type 1s are still around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseCityBusMan Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Nice. If 116 stays on the green line go on Blue Line . Might get a chance to ride on October 7th. Maybe 103 aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom1122 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Will any of the original cars be preserved? Edit: The Oregon Railway Museum does have plans to obtain one such car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trimetwes Fan1003 Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Is there a reason the RDCs engines would be running when they are not being used in service. Went to the WES commuter rail yard yesterday and the RDCs had their engines running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseCityBusMan Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 What I have heard. 108 is no longer in service. 116 (one of the "Untouched Trio") is next to be decommissioned. Leaves 103 the last train to have it's original livery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trimetwes Fan1003 Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 I just saw a type 2 or 3 in a phase 4 wrap. the fronts were still white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCityBusMan Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Do you know what cars are they. Trimet likes to do weird stuff with their branding. For example, 233 is a Type 2 but Trimet put Newer logos on the side of the train. They did the same thing to 116. They also did it to a 2400 bus aswell. Even the signs aren't safe with a sign at Sunset Transit Center. Trimet oddly decided to redo all the logo on the Type 2s in the front for some reason. I'm curious why they do that 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious why they do that It's probably because TriMet wants to phase out the old logo. the last time i saw is type 2 with the old logo on the front was in 2018. Most type 2s still have old logos on the sides tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
