Nice pictures! I especially like the rear shot of the O6. Is the paint scheme on 6040 exclusive to the hybrids, or will the whole fleet be getting a makeover?

Thanks a bunch. I took the rear shot of 2082 to show the relocated tailpipe. WMATA did this on all of the Orion VI within the last month or so. Here's an old rear shot of an Orion VI
In early 2006 WMATA started receiving their order of 50 New Flyer hybrids. The order was split for 39 DE40LF (6001-6039) and 11 DE40LFR (6040-6050). To everyone's suprise the DE40LFRs arrived in the silver color scheme. The DE40LFs are in WMATA's regular color scheme. What will be interesting is when they get rehabbed in 5 years or so. Will WMATA repaint them with the silver color.
Here's the WMATA's regular DE40LF.
