They lost them cause 66 couldn't use them efficiently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 So I rode the 26 south shore express from NWM hospital to 103rd/Stony Island in the PM does it deadhead back to downtown because mine went back with sign saying “Not in service” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the change in terminal from 106th/Mackinaw to 103rd/Stony was because buses on the 26 ending their runs went that way anyway, so if it didn't go out of service, it most likely went downtown. Or maybe on a school run for some other route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it definitely went back to downtown because I checked it 2hrs later and it said 26 South Shore and the bus was 4115 on tracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sht6131 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 4037 operating on 72. If this is a loan, why an artic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it's probably going to or starting from the 125 or some other artic route. Chicago doesn't hold artics, but the 72 does go near the Chicago garage (Pulaski & Chicago) and some 72 trips start/end at North/Pulaski. FWIW, its not there anymore.

sht6131 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 To my knowledge 72 does not interline. The bus will probably be back at Kedzie over the weekend. Unless it and a few others are for beach service which according to the seasonal schedule starts weekends after Memorial day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A street supervisor may have pulled that bus to run the 72, most likely from the 156. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be a kedzie run on 72 for what you're saying to have any weight. It's just a loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I might head down there and see today because I mentioned last month about 3 buses in particular that were sitting in the boneyard and I couldn't make out there numbers other than #1305 Perhaps #1186, #1228 and possibly #1821 may be retired as well because after going through my photo logs I did notice an 8 after looking at it closely, the number is hard to make out but it does resemble some damage that #1228 received that night.

That flyer isn’t 1228 because 1228 had his whole bumper messed up and the white front plate with the accessible and CTA logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
