[edit] Lamy and Las Vegas

Here is where i got my information. Maybe Amtrak made a mistake. [1]. John R G 06:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Strange, it does say that. But the map on that site shows Lamy as the next station. Well, I know it was a mistake on Amtrak's part. I live in Albuquerque, and I know where all those towns are. :-) PerryPlanet 18:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Thanks for the recent edits on ABQ Ride. Good to see a fellow Abq-er ('cept I'm moving on Monday) who uses the transit system.

Just wanted to say I looked at your blog and particularly liked this gem:

I really hate to say it, but no mass transit system is going to solve the traffic problem on the West Side. You people chose to live in the suburbs, you chose to deal with the traffic. No amount of buses or light rail is going to solve the West Side traffic problem, because everyone out there convinetly(sic) decided to live miles and miles from anything, making all modes of public transit pretty much useless.

Huzzah! Take that you SUV-drivin', pedestrian-ignorin', pollution-lovin' numb-nuts. Glippy00 01:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Amen! Thanks for your comment, that definetly brightened my day. PerryPlanet 18:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ABQ RIDE new buses

You seem to know quite a bit on what is going on in Albuquerque. In January 2006, ABQ RIDE supposedly ordered Gillig Advantage Hybrids. The article mentions this. However, in December 2006, there was a New Flyer DE40LFR doing test runs in Albuquerque. The bus resembled the one in the following link: [2]. It even featured the same livery. Do you happen to know about who has won the contract for ABQ RIDE's new 40-foot buses? Most bus drivers tell me the new buses are New Flyers. It would make sense for ABQ RIDE to go with New Flyer, since they already operate DE60LFs and have six more being delivered in the coming weeks. I know that for sure the new buses will be 40-foot low-floor diesel-electric hybrids. They will replace 35 of the 100 and 200 series TMC RTS buses. Andros 1337 04:05, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know. You know as much as I do at this point. PerryPlanet 00:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Andros 1337 02:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ABQ RIDE DE60LFs

Hey, today I saw two of ABQ RIDE's new DE60LFs. The new buses are the 6600 series, I saw 6604 and 6605 today. They look similar to the current fleet, but with different-looking windows. They still feature the front multicolor destination signs, and do NOT feature New Flyer's restyled front end. Thanks. Andros 1337 15:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

This New Mexican Barnstar is presented to PerryPlanet for his recent hard work identifying articles within the ambit of the New Mexico WikiProject. Gracias! -- Murcielago 16:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yay! :D And I'll be sure to assess some of those articles sometime, so that I don't leave you guys with a bunch of extra work. :) PerryPlanet 18:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Trains

Hello and welcome to the Trains WikiProject! Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and detailed guide to rail transport on Wikipedia. As a project member, you may add the project membership userbox to your user page if you wish.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and take some time to review the Trains project manual of style where we have collected guidelines and suggestions on notability and style for a consistent representation of rail transport related material. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Trains project to do list. If you'd like to specialize in a particular area of study within rail transport, take a look at the current Trains project task forces.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing! Slambo (Speak) 13:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah, that's fine. Took it a long time ago. Can't wait to come back to Salt Lake City this summer. Cool Hand Luke 06:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:BFAHP 5thfloor.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:BFAHP 5thfloor.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 09:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PRT edits from anon IP

Did you make these edits? You were recently editing the PRT article and you are from Albuquerque, which is where the IP address is from, so I thought maybe it was you and you forgot to log in. If it was you, was there a reason you removed PRT links from everywhere? If it wasn't you, well, then nevermind. :-) ATren 02:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

No, it wasn't me. It's weird though, it seems like all of us anti-PRT people are on Wikipedia today. I was editing the PRT article today, and so was Avidor, and then there's this loon.

I do know a few people at school who share my anti-PRT feelings, maybe one of them did this. PerryPlanet 02:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, I was just wondering if there was a good reason for the edits, but if it wasn't you then I'm guessing it was just some random IP editor expressing his POV, and the reverts were correct. Thanks. :-) ATren 03:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update on new buses

Hello Perry. I just noticed that on your blog that ABQ RIDE has just got one of the first new buses delivered. You stated on your blog that the Alibi shows an image of one of them. I personally would like to see it. Could you explain what it looks like? I was told that it looks like a shorter version of the Rapid Ride buses painted in a red livery but without the Rapid Ride titles. Any images or descriptions would be helpful. ANDROS¹³³⁷ 00:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ABQ RIDE article

Hello there. It has been a while since I sent you a comment. However, I have noticed that you haven't made any edits on the ABQ RIDE article in a while. Specifically, I would have expected that you would have uploaded a picture of one of ABQ RIDE's new 700 series buses by now. I know there are several in service now, so simply taking a good picture wouldn't be very difficult. You took the picture for the Rapid Ride bus on the ABQ RIDE article.

Speaking of the 700-series buses, I finally got to ride on one yesterday on the 155 route. They are nice and quiet. However, they do not have as much capacity as the 300-series buses due to the low floor design. ANDROS¹³³⁷ 23:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Ooh, good point. Unfortunately, they're rather unexpected and every time I see one I don't have my camera. But I'll try to catch one. PerryPlanet (talk) 04:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Mexico Rail Runner Express

Hey PerryPlanet, thanks for your note. When I get a chance to have a good run at it, I'll re-review the article in terms of promotion to GA. I'll leave notes, as ever, on the talk page and let you know where I think the article stands. All the best! The Rambling Man (talk) 07:41, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I've looked it over and left further comments on the talk page. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Update to ABQ RIDE article

Just to let you know, I replaced the gallery at the bottom of the ABQ RIDE article with small images inside the fleet table, modeling it after the Bus models used in New York City Transit and MTA Bus article. While it may not be possible to get images for every bus type in ABQ RIDE's fleet, Busboy at ABQ Bus stories has an image of a 6600-series Rapid Ride bus: [3]. I noticed that you are a member of that blog, and if possible, could you ask the owner of that blog (Busboy) if you can use that 6600-series bus image here on Wikipedia? Thanks. ANDROS¹³³⁷ 18:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Edit: Also, don't worry about getting an image of a 100-series bus or bus 436. The 100-series buses are becoming rare as they are being phased out, and getting a picture of 436 will be very difficult as it is one of a kind. Bus 436 isn't really assigned to any particular route, it simply rotates between routes in and out of the Daytona Transit Facility, operating in place of a 100, 200, or 700 series bus. ANDROS¹³³⁷ 20:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More ABQ RIDE updates

Well, it has been quite a while since I last responded to your talk page. However, I have an update about ABQ RIDE. Online, I have found an audit that states that ABQ RIDE will be acquiring 30-35 new buses in addition to the ones that have already been delivered by last March. However, it makes no mention of who will be the supplier of the buses, nor does it mention how long the buses will be. I actually wonder if they will replace the 300 or 400 series buses, or will be used for service expansion. I wonder if they will be numbered as the 800 series.

Here is the audit right here: http://www.cabq.gov/audit/pdf/MicrosoftWord-07-04-104FFinal051308vmd.pdf
