Jupiter Casper Report post Posted January 20 There are some improvements to be made to the King County Metro 2600-2812 page on the CPTDB wiki. Multiple units are listed as active wen they should be retired. They are listed below. I'd do this myself, but whenever I enter my username and password I use on this discussion board to log in, the site won't let me enter. 2609 2624 2642 2662 2688 2755 2761 2780 2785 Source: pantographapp.com/vehicles/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamer Report post Posted January 22 I've been busy attempting to update the 3600 page pertaining to retirements and also tracking and updating the new Gillig arrivals so haven't been able or have had the time to edit the 2600-2700 page. Hopefully, I'll be able to get to it eventually if another editor doesn't beat me to it ...it would be nice to have somebody else beat me to updating that page, however.

Let's leave that one showing "active" for awhile longer. The rest on your list haven't been observed in service for over a month so it's safe to assume that they are actually retired. Should you acquire editor status, please keep an eye on the 2600s and update as needed as it's tedious for me to navigate such a large wiki page. It sounds as if you may already have the skills necessary for wiki editing? I'm an old fart who has a difficult time with it and it takes me a long time to make sure my edits are being done accurately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also forgot to mention a minor detail that should be added to King County Metro 3201-3544 page. Apparently coach 3243 was retired early when it caught fire at Ryerson Base on 1/21/11. You don't have to put that on there, but I just wanted to let you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they were just awaiting repairs. 2688 and 2761 are stored at Atlantic. While 2780 is being stored at Central. I was just saying this so that you knew what base name to put them under.

roamer Report post Posted March 3 I notice that 2787 is in revenue service today, March 03. I'll keep an eye on the others you list that haven't been observed in service for over a month now. Do you know somebody at Metro that has information as it pertains to if a coach is "officially" retired? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
