The D40s were reliable but they had pretty big issues at the end of their lifetimes. The first issue I had with them was their noise. Those D40/ were CRAZY loud, and maybe the foamers would like that but to me it was just annoying. Another thing I noticed was that they almost never had air conditioning. I’m not sure if the mechanics at Queensway just gave up on them but they were always hot as hell in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC4120fan Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Here are some deadline photos from hillcrest. The first photo is from September of 2015, while the others are from early 2016. Please forgive me for the blurriness in the first photo. At this point I was just starting to photograph transit and the vehicles on Davenport were super distracting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
