andrethebusman Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 As of last year there were at least three work buses sitting underneath 61st yard. They have apparently now disappeared from there. One a 4000 Brick (4240) , others a 3500 Flx (BW55 or 58?) and 300 GM (BW59). Have any of these appeared at the South Shops scrap line?

All of them have. They're sitting on the northern end of the boneyard near the defunct #6700s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudgym29 Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 On Friday, 8 April, I may have rode a 6400-series bus for the final time. I rode route #77 Belmont to take out a pizza from Papa Ray's Pizza [@ Pulaski]. To return west, I was amazed when #6837, running to Cumberland, was the one filling out the schedule. Usually, when the old Novas run, they are segregated to the lower-trafficked routes like #86 Narragansett/Ridgeland and #68 Northwest Hwy. The interior of #6837 is completely sponsored by the Chicago City Colleges. However, the ad wraps pasted to the ceiling were in an early stage of peeling off. ? I did not have my camera on me; so - sorry, no photographs. (I was carrying nothing but the bag holding the pizza.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re being used more often in the earlier afternoon now, they don’t run in the mornings. They’re being used on different routes more often now. 6859 was on Lawrence the other day, and then many of them still run 86/84 and 152 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 #6871 is officially done after I spotted it sitting amongst the other dead #6400s in the boneyard yesterday. I didn't even realize it was there at first. That bus ran no later than a minute F (Forest Glen)804/4/2022, 2:40 PM4/4/2022, 2:41 PM80 -452 which is kind of funny in a sense. Pulled out just to break down not to long after. ? A few other buses I spotted back there was #1062,#1141, and #2017.#1870, #1935 and #1996 are still back there after all this time as well. I wonder what's the deal with #1935 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
