Public display of transit enthusiam
Last night M*A*N and I were enjoying some real and mock poultry dishes at Da Lat on Broadway. I looked over my shoulder and saw that the #4258 (! new, extreme global max !) was passing by -- causing me to emit a loud yelp of enthusiam. I apologize to M*A*N if I embarassed him, but this debut spot was so unexpected that I couldn't contain myself.
on campus spotting
Much to my surprise, I spotted a MAN coach right on the UW campus outside the hub. Turns out, it is a diesel MAN artic. formerly of the Metro fleet converted to a Mobile Operations Center (SEMOC).
Next, while crossing the sky-bridge over 15th Ave, I spotted 4246 on the 49 route! It was a rare aerial spot making use of the number on the top of the coach!
Joy ride
I'm babysitting M*A*N's fish this week since he is spending the week utilizing one of my
favorite transportation systems. As I was walking out of the building, I spotted a bus (#3199) rounding the corner in front of M*A*N's building!! Now, many of you know that M*A*N lives close to transit utopia -- numerous coaches (esp. trolleys) can be spotted from his apt -- but NO BUS should be on the streets directly adjacent to it! Metro joy ride, perhaps??
New White Door(s)
Yesterday, I spotted coach 4032 on Broadway and noticed it was sporting white rear doors! It is a blue coach, like 4022, but it has both door panels in the rear colored white, like most 4000's.
