I'm surprised none of WMATA/ART's or LACMTA's XN40s caught fire yet considering everybody else's is (MTA: 2, NICE: 3, now MBTA:1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But judging by this fire it seems to be heat related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasbo2 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 As a result of the orange line fire, the MBTA is suspending service for an entire month. The green line and red lines will also be shut down due to defferd maintence so expect to see more shuttle buses from Yankee Line in the next coming weeks/days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in retirement our D60s find their way onto bus bridge work That one is owned by an NYC area bus enthusiast, probably working the shuttle for some extra cash. (I imagine the contracted rates are pretty good) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they can carry 200 people when our Toronto cars can't even carry that many.

Are you going to post it on MBTA Fleet roster on Wikipedia as soon as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
