Put 6726 in the search box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus1883 Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 6568,6610,6726,6738 and 6832 were retired between 2006-09. Im not exactly sure why 6726 and 6738 were withdrawn but I know that 6610 was retired in 2009 due to it being in the worst shape ever. 6568 was wrecked real bad at the intersection of Archer and Pulaski while 6832 suffered severe damaged killing the driver in the process. On Bus Hunters channel 6510 has suffered a fire at the rear wheel back in 2003 when they were still new at the time, I’m not sure if it returned to service or not.

Rhys Pate Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Does Chicago have any other 6400s besides the 3 that are pictured above (6802, 6820, and 6835)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what that random 6500 was doing out there and most should be in the boneyard. 6539 is no longer at fresh moves which that one had a green wrap. Unless it was an instruction nova of a 6500 but presumably those are secondly retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys Pate Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 As seen in the video above, Chicago garage also has 6488. 6488 is an instruction bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Pate Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 6802 must have moved because 6802 is not seen in the video (and 6488 moved because 6488 was not photographed yesterday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
