ᴴᴰ⁶⁰ Front POV: NJT Route 154 Fort Lee onboard a 2008 NABI 40-SFW Suburban

Описание: On Monday, January 19th (MLK Day) I saw that a couple of the old 5200s NABIs were running, both on the 154 so I took the opportunity to ride one of them. With the XD40s rapidly being delivered and entering service, not many of the 2008 NABIs remain, with most of the remaining ones being based out of Fairview garage (Some still have Greenville stickers). You can hear the Caterpillar C9 engine that the earlier NABIs used before they switched to using Cummins ISL engines. Anyway, route 154 is a rather simple route, primarily traveling along the Northern end of JFK Boulevard. You may notice that almost every stop is shared with the 154X, which is almost the exact same route. The main difference is that the 154 local makes a deviation to serve Fairview Ave/Grand Street in the central area of the town. The 154X does not do this and instead continues straight along Bergen Boulevard, so it essentially just skips two stops and has its own unique one along the way. Also a weird part is that going inbound, all trips are marked as the 154X, regardless of doing the Fairview deviation or not. NJTransit is confusing, what can I say. Anyway, enjoy the video!
