Nice pics!

I checked out the rest of your album from today and noticed some interesting things:

1. Nice shots of the "new kids" at the Tempe Division, especially 6161 6640, and 6647. It will be nice to see some of the 6157-6163 batch back in Tempe as I haven't seen those buses in a while. It appears that the LNG NABIs from the RPTA have not had their signs reprogrammed in the "Tempe" style.

2. Also, your pics of the Red Line (unless someone gets out there Friday) might be the last shots of Phoenix buses running the Red Line, some of the last shots of the Red line in general, and also some of the last shots of Phoenix artics running in Tempe. After December 29, the only Phoenix line running into downtown Tempe will be route 44-44th Street, which doesn't use artics that often. I took what may have been my last ride ever on the Red Line last Monday, and as I got off I realized how odd it is that the Red Line will be gone since it has been running for 15 years. Also, I find it ironic that the 2008 New Flyer D60LFs are running the Red Line for such a short time. (BTW the Blue Line bus stop signs near my house have already started to be replaced with route 39-40th Street signs).
