For the first time this year, I visit my usual stomping grounds in Jamaica; the areas of 153rd Street, Jamaica & Archer Avenues. I even tried out some new angles at Parsons/Archer, something NEW to this channel for 2023 (previewing Tripod videos for the future perhaps). What I saw from this latest visit is:

1. OGs still going strong in their 17th year in service.
2. Their younger cousins, the 2008 NGs, still going as well (Manhattan has under 50 left across 3 Depots)
3. More Cones.
4. 2022 XD40s starting to become commonplace on the Q24, Q54 and Q56.

It was kinda windy in some segments of the vid, so just wanted to get that out of the way before any complaints come in.

Anyways, enjoy the show (all 1 Hour and 11 Minutes of it) and please, PLEASE remember to Subscribe. Any subscripton now is very important, as I am getting quite close to 1,000 now!
