Original or extra crispy? – Well, apparently 7194 wanted to be extra crispy. This bus was placed out of service on April 17th, 2006, after reportedly catching fire. No further details are known other than the fact that it is at Allegheny waiting to be towed to the Berridge Heavy Maintenance Shops. Also out of service with fire damage is Comly 5546, which suffered a fire in December 2005, and Midvale 5742, which suffered a fire while on the Route C in June of 2005. All of these buses are expected to be out of service for an extended period of time.

4551 was spotted today on the 3:30PM 111 to Chadds Ford on the 4462 block. The bus left 69th Street Terminal with every seat taken up but no standing load. Also using an Eldorado today was 110 4437 block, using 4535. The first trip on this block is the 3:45PM to Springfield Mall. This bus left with a full load. The use of an Eldorado on this trip is not too bad of an idea since after the Springfield Mall trip, the block only has 2 or 3 Pilgrim Gardens short turns to do. Red Arrow operator Dave Dalessio has been taking out an Eldorado on his 110 4436 block lately but as seen above, today he had 5597. This may be why 4551 was on the 111.

The Adventure Aquarium of Camden, New Jersey has once again full wrapped a Red Arrow New Flyer for use on the Route 110. 

 

 

5597

As seen, the wrap is very similar to the one from last year that appeared on 5430, 5588, and 5661. 

There’s only 40 Neoplans left, over the last past few days Frankford has pulled three neoplans out of service bringing the total of 40 foot Neoplans left in service down to only 40 coaches system wide.
