What does the future hold?
Today I Googled the phrase "Seattle Metro 4200 series." Guess who is the #1 hit?! Yes, it is Multiple Options. I have been thinking a lot about what is in store for the Multiple O 4200 series spotting crew. To my delight, Google also led me to this posting from a Seattle P-I transportation forum:"Posted by diehardTRANSITadvocate at 10/16/04 5:53 p.m. in reply to: #547167
Recenty on Route 7, I have been seeing and even rode once, a 4200 trackless trolley. They are the 5000 series Dual-Modes recently given their discharge from tunnel duty, the Diesel COmponents disabled or removed, and turned into Pure Trackless Trolleys, These will replace the 4000 series Articulated Trolleys, but their is a surprise. Metro only needed to replace 46 of those.They converted 60. Sounds like something is up."
Yes, this is from two years ago, but it is crutial information in our quest for options. We could someday be spotting #4259! And, by the way, does this spotter read our own forum?

This is amazing! Think of the power you wield... Soon, Seattle bus users of the 4200 from AROUND THE WORLD will come to your web thingy for... web stuff.
I'm currently sitting in one of Multiple O's top 4000 series spotting spaces -- Red Line. There is a couple making out (heavily) to my left and #4017 to my left! Guess which makes a better sound?!
The crazy knit-n-bitch circle is WAY louder?
This finding has important implications for the global max/ local max challenge. If the writer is correct and there were 46 MAN's then 4045 would be the max. Will he be proven worng and will we ever see 4259?
