If that is what you saw it is for WMATA AKA "Metrobus" down here in Washington DC. They are expecting 22 New Flyer DE62LFA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your junk as you mean the CTA Nabi artics? Well the NABI's down here are pretty worn out considering every unit at one point lived at one of the 2 city garages (Northern,Bladensburg) which is pretty rough. They have a little life left in them but if they were interested in good running used equipment WMATA's 93-9400 series 1990 Flxible's still have plenty of life in them!!

I remember back in 1999, I was riding the 1995 Ikarus Artics in Miami MDTA From Downtown Miami via Miami Beach to Bal Harbour for shopping and back to Downtown Miami on their 1987 Gumman Flxs (Retired). I love their engine sound on both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite WMATA Flx's that are soon retiring have the Cummins L10 and boy they sound good!! To bad it's almost the end of the road for them <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
