LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 More Xcelsiors for CT. This will replace the 2001-2005 D40LFs Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada – June 6, 2016: (TSX: NFI) (TSX: NFI.DB.U) New Flyer of America Inc., a subsidiary of New Flyer Industries Inc.

LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I've been watching the wiki page for Connecticut Transit for the past few days, I noticed some missing and/or inaccurate info. 2017 MCI D4500CT Possibly to be numbered 1775-1799, they will have the Cummins X12/ISX12 425 HP engine ~ Allison B500R transmission Page 202/305: http://www.biznet.ct.gov/SCP_Documents/Results/17785/16DOT7002 - Posted 1-9-17.pdf 2016-2017 New Flyer Xcelsior The first part of the Xcelsior order will be numbered 1601-1653. This comes second-hand from a CTtransit employee. Regarding builder's plates, the only 2016 model is 1601. I'm going to assume 1602-1626 have ISL9 EPA 13 engines was because enough were delivered to last up to a certain point, and that a two month interval occurred between 1601 and 1602 (Up until 1615, they are sequential, starting from 521). The second part will be numbered 1701-1772. These are estimated to be started on next month, judging from builders plate to first date on service (about 1-2 months). The numbering comes from a CTtransit page on Facebook. "The first part of the order (the 1600-series buses) will replace the 200-series buses in Hartford. The second half of the order will be the 170-series buses, which will replace the 300-series buses in Hartford & New Haven. (https://www.facebook.com/Brian-S-McLaughlin-CTtransit-Planning-Scheduling-289446764478967/)". 125 are set to be delivered this year to CTtransit, and approximately 50 to other companies in the state (I can source this information if need be). 15 XDE40s are for Greater Bridgeport Transit (Numbered 4701-4715), another 15 for Bridgeport (these are XDE35s), and 10 XD35 buses have been delivered to UConn in Storrs to replace their Blue Bird buses (1701-1710). The GBT Hybrids have ISB ~ H 40 EP, probably because they were on the state RFP for buses in April/May of last year. They have some diesel buses on the property too, but numbers have yet to be confirmed (Possibly 4716+). 2015 MCI D4500CT 3 MCI D4500CT buses were built (date unknown) in 2015, numbered 1510-1513.

CTtransit 2011 NovaBus LFSA HEV #1101 on Route 62 by Xavier Trofisher, on Flickr 2002 New Flyer D40LF 4 D40LFs were seen (by me) in a lot other than the CTtransit garage. There was a lot owned by DATTCO in Hartford's North End shortly before they went on strike in early Winter. Specifically 211,213,230, & 234. It would make sense to assume they're retired. At some point before the XD40s finish arriving, I will find and go to the lot where they put To-Be-Auctioned state vehicles and see if I can find out if more are retired/sold. The 2001 D40LF in Hartford have all been retired. I saw them last in early March, shortly after the first XD40s entered service, and about 20 minutes ago while looking for RFP documents. 215 and H302 have also been retired and sent to an auto body shop called "Corona's" on Wethersfield Avenue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some diesel buses on the property too, but numbers have yet to be confirmed (Possibly 4716+). The "DATE OF MANUFACTURER" on the New Flyer builder's plates is the date that the bus was built in, not the model date/year. The model year can be found on the 10th digit of a bus' 17-digit VIN. Based on seeing all of your photos of the builder's plates of XD40 buses 1601, 1604, 1606, 1608, 1610-1612 and 1615, all of them have the "G" model year code, which means they are 2016 models, according to this model year encoding table in the wiki. Therefore, 1601 is not the only 2016 model XD40 bus CTtransit has in their fleet. Besides that, I've listed 1628-1653 and the 1700s in the same page as 1601-1627. While you are right about the 15 XDE40s GBT received, they also got 5 XD35s, 15 XD40s and 5 XDE35s (not 15), according to this GBT Board Meeting on July 13, 2016. If the hybrids are 2017 models, they should be powered by B6.7 engines. I'll get around to adding these GBT and UConn buses in their respective pages. 57 minutes ago, LegoNovaLFS2001 said: 2015 MCI D4500CT 3 MCI D4500CT buses were built (date unknown) in 2015, numbered 1510-1513.

Stalwart23 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 The three 2015 MCI D4500CTs are actually numbered 1510, 1512 and 1513. There is no 1511. I am not sure what the VIN numbers are unfortunately, due to the different engine in the buses. Could the letter "A" be the choice in the engine code in the VIN due to the engine being the Cummins ISL9.

LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 An MCI was involved in a crash, due to the large amount of patience a car driver had this morning. http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/on-air/as-seen-on/Car-Apparently-Fleeing-Crash-Scene-Hit-by-CT-Transit-Bus_Hartford-422610674.html 95% it was A71 on the 924 Express. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Finally got some more builders plates, and some being somewhat necessary.

LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Some updates. "Crashed" MCI A71 was in fact the bus involved in the collision on Asylum Avenue. It suffered virtually no damages, except that the piece that connects the bike rack and the bumper was damaged, and the bike rack was taken off. It was active during PM Rush Hour today. New MCI D4500CT The new MCI D4500CT have started arriving, and it appears they'll be numbered in the 16xx as well, possibly from 1661, but the guy who posted about it depicted 1678(?), so the possibility of a number like 1671 (when the 2010 contractor coaches were ordered, A71-A91) or 1675, going along with the 2014 order. If the images are too blurry, I apologize. It went from a phone to Facebook to .png to here. New New Flyer Xcelsiors Regarding XD40s, I was at the depot a few days ago (well, outside the fence) for about 5 minutes, and saw a new MCI and XD40. Because New Flyer plasters the numbers in large font, I saw 1722 outside in front of an MCI. 1721 was out on the 66T, and 1720 on the 46 a few days ago. By the end of the month, those 2002s will be history, if not sooner. New Property And it turns out that former DATTCO lot in the North End was bought from DATTCO to store new and "decommissioned" buses, as well as part storage, as of the CTtransit reps put it. This makes sense now, because a 2007 D40LF was there along with all the to-be-retired 2002 D40LFs.

LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 From the looks of it, the MCIs delivery started last week or the week before. Anyway, MCIs up to 1692 have been delivered, and 1691 this morning. At this point for the Xcelsiors, up to 1730 (As far as I know) have been delivered. They were hidden behind the MCIs well. When I visited the North Main Street facility this morning, the lowest unit number I saw was 1676, so it's almost safe to say that the MCIs start at 1675. They've also placed some of the 300s, as well as a Suburban, 2 2005s, and a 2014 XDE40.

LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 That is an ex-CTtransit 2001 D40LF. I'm unsure of the number, since five 2001 buses were bought and are going to the same area, (115,116 went to somewhere in NYC, 117,121, and 122 went to Long Island, along with at least half a dozen 2002 units). My guess is that its going to a scrap lot. Either that, or someone is starting a charter service in LI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 The New York license plate reads: 69792MJ When a bus runs for, let's say the Port Authority or Cong Maten Torah (the one that uses the Fairfaxs), or a New York transport company, the license plate can end in BA, BB, PA, PB, or PC, with BB and PC being used for new plates. I am not sure what MJ is used for. But I don't think its Maten or Private Transportation. The Port Authority has been busy lately, buying second-hand New Flyers and Gilligs. Could be them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Can this thread be re-named? I would create another thread for the other TAs in Connecticut, but that just seems wasteful of space, in addition to the fact that all the other TAs in CT have 20 buses or less. Connecticut Transit And it appears that I was wrong. The 1600 XD40 series stops at 1626, as when I "visited" the Hartford Garage, all I saw outside were 1700 XD40s and 1600 MCIs. Whoops. And a bus cleaner I know who works for CTtransit says that 123-126 aren't retired yet. 124 and 125 have been saved for MNRR Bustitutions, and 123, 126 etc see regular service. Idk where 1480 came from, but in the 2 years I have been venturing around Connecticut, I have never seen a 1480. Otherwise, it would be in a body shop at DATTCO or on the 928, where they regularly put their 2014s. Speaking of 2014s, I got my first 2014 LFSA V.I.N.

Not 803-805, because none of these numbers have appeared on their tracker site.

LegoNovaLFS2001 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 The 5th gen buses have started to reach New Haven. 1750 started service on Wednesday, with another 50 coming to replace all of the 2001 and 2003 D40LFs (1749-1799). A few months following this, another 31 will replace the last of New Haven's 2004 D40LF. (About a year, give or take a few months). After 1749 and 1750 arrived, 107 and 340 were decommissioned and given their sending away "party". By then, New Haven will have switched to the three-digit numbering scheme. As the routes, fareboxes are setup with the appropriate hard and software, New Haven's current fleet will be transformed into an almost completely new image, where the centerpiece will be Cummins, after a 30+ year reign by Detroit Diesel. Here is 1769 at the North Main Street Garage. I believe this was delivered either yesterday or today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyC62 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just arrived in New Haven this week, will be staying for a year. Coming from Calgary, neat to note the similarities overall with the fleet there (Nova artics being the exception - we only have artic New Flyers). Really pleased to see the cloth-covered cushioned seats on the D40LFs, and the unexpected bonus of air conditioning while maintaining openable windows. Are there any particularly noteworthy units I should keep an eye out for in terms of nearing their retirement date and with distinctive features? Also, a little amused at the "no standing" bus stop signs - took me a few seconds before I realized they referred to car parking! Attached: quick phone crop of 1046 on my first morning here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
