#1464 was on the #20 yesterday. It seems a new batch of #1000's from 103rd is making there way to Chicago. Looks like they may want to ship out the #6000's there.
I'm awaiting trainman's reply, but it seems like a lot of needless shuffling, especially of 6000s. The two conclusions I reach are:
  • There's really no point in sending more 1000s to 103.
  • It sure seems that while more are being pumped into 103 and 77, which have no high floor buses, they're back to ignoring FG (completely) and 74 (after the Sept. or so swap).

Chicago should now have #1464 - #1474 evens. Interestingly, the only #6000 to ship out of Chicago was #6081. 103rd should be left with #1476 - #1620 evens and #1762 - #1974 evens along with #1978.

Remember they needed some buses to replace the 5300's too. Also I forgot to mention that back when I worked new years eve day I learned at that point there was 269 buses assigned to Chicago ave garage which of 229 were usable, so that had 40 buses out of service for whatever reason (repairs, road calls, etc)
