Cook County Sheriff's Bus

[T8H5307A]

I was digging through some of my older photos and decided to share these. This is ex cta 7802. Photos taken across the street from the Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Lemont.

Cool. I didn't know other govt. entitities besides CFD, CPD, and the City of Chicago got former CTA fishbowls. Do you remember how about far back you took your photo? I notice long time former Sheriff Sheahan's name is displayed on the side. (Sidepoint: I wonder how much money goes into removing a local politician's name from government property after he leaves office.)

It nice to see these GMC buses still exist in some capacity. At the very least you know theyre still around, too bad the CFD version was scrapped.

There are marker lights added next to the destination sign. Any idea why?

Those would be strobes used while responding to emergencies.Also,on top of the air conditioner is a green strobe used to identify a command vehicle location while on the scene of an emergency.

I agree it is good to see those buses still around I remember riding those buses when I was little. You know what would be cool if the cta could order new buses with the old model such as the fish bowl bus or the M.A.N buses ( well in my opinion the new flyer 1000 series bus resemble the old M.A.N bus) but back to what I was saying they should do the same thing with the rail fleet bring back the 2000 series train just with modern updates. That would be nice to see.

Unfortunately no one makes those bus or rail models anymore. So it's just a dream to see them in the present day.
