A 992 was revving 4095 but the bus wouldn’t move These buses are showing their age Quote

YoungBusLover Posted January 7, 2022 Report Posted January 7, 2022 CTA has a variety of trucks, there is a small #210 and a much larger #210 I've seen used in the past several weeks coming in and out of SS with dead buses. Quote

YoungBusLover Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 #210 Has had its work cut out for it in the past couple of weeks. Almost every other night I'm seeing #7900s getting towed back to the garage. Tonight #7924 is broken down at 87th and Wentworth with the front suspension sitting lower than usual. I've seen a couple of #1300s get towed in as well last week. Quote

jajuan Posted March 1, 2022 Report Posted March 1, 2022 8144 will be out of commission for a while. That's if it gets a repair. It caught fire yesterday morning according to a CBS 2 news clip I spotted through YouTube. They say the fire started from the engine. No injuries and no passengers on board at the time. There is fire damage at the rear, mainly some melting of the top rear panels, though it doesn't look as severe as on 4333 when it caught fire years ago during its first winter in service if I'm remembering the timeframe correctly.
