Rhys Pate Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 When was 6488’s retirement date? As one of the earlier buses in the 6400-series, I think it was retired earlier. Did 6488 become an instruction bus immediately after its retirement? 6472, which is the Community Connection bus, is another one of the earlier buses in the series. 6472 was retired a few years ago. 6472 is at F (Forest Glen).

busfan2847 Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I have 6488 withdrawn in 2/19, one of the later withdrawals of the early buses. It became an instruction bus the same month. 6472 was withdrawn in 2/17 and became the community bus by 6/17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus1883 Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Scrolling through ChicagoBus.Org and I don’t see the 6400s roster on there why did they delete it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Current Roster on the home page. 6400s are no longer in revenue service. However, they are not but should be under Retired on the Buses page.

YoungBusLover Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 I think only one 6400 work bus remains active. I found WB 1 sitting in the boneyard today sitting next to #6867. Almost every #6400 should be in the boneyard now. I remember seeing truck #210 or #270 at Canal and Taylor last week sitting idle with a #6800 in tow.

Not exactly sure, it’s been 2-3 years since the been retired 6400s were last hauled away for scrap. It’s a very long process I know. Sims has won the contract for those not sure where the 800s will go, I assume they’ll be scrapped when the 1000s start to retired and be scrapped.
