Pace831 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Today I saw 6729 being towed to 16325 S Pulaski in Markham. I believe @garmon757 reported seeing 6400s at this location once but there have never been any visible from the road when I have gone by.

I guess CTA gave the ok for it to be scrapped, assuming 16325 S Pulaski in Markham is a scrapyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google aerial imagery shows two CTA buses behind their building. That property appears to be connected to a large junkyard directly behind it, so the logical guess is that the junkyard uses E&R to bring vehicles to their lot.

But don't they need equipment removed first like the Bustrackers, Control Boxes(the data boxes used to input user ID and get notices from Control), Clever Devices unit and fareboxes.... among parts that can be used for other Novas still operable?
