Now, I finally make it to Riis Park and hang out with the buses.6259 with the Gil Hodges behind it.  And away it goes…  So I finally make it to the Riis Park end of the line to find 1059, 9098, and 7340…  The "FishbowlB77" (8466 joins the crowd)  7340   1059  3542  MaBSTOA  3100 coming back  Just a couple of Old Looks… Nothing else to see here…  Having taken the Q22 back to Rockaway Park, I find 121 on its way in…  …and 7340 on its way out.   Again with 9098…  …and FishbowlB77.  Oh, yes… I promised you videos. Here you go. |

Until 8477 yesterday I do believe the last time a TDH-5303 was seen in the Rockaways was the GBL 800 series about 25 years ago |

Well GBL had several ex Triboro buses that were 5303s. I remember 916 being a '64 model, 951, 953, and 959 being 1967 models and they ran until at least 1991 and perhaps until 1992 out here on the peninsula. |

Oh ok -I did not know about those(mainly because they were strictly running the peninsula(Arverne) while Triboro's RTS-03's & Grummans and GM T8H-5307's were running the main routes(South Jamaica) |
