Anyways last year when the pandemic first hit after moving a lot of buses around I remember seeing #1872 on a FG route, it was originally from NP.

Sam92 Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 9 hours ago, YoungBusLover said: So far I've counted at 22-23 #4000s left at 77th not counting the ones we had that are oos along the south fence on 79th. 17 were active today while the rest were receiving maintenance. I can only estimate at this point that we roughly have in total at least 25-30 #4000s left. Now will the rest get shipped off before this weekend? That has yet to be seen but I think they're here to stay until the next pick barring something major happens regarding Delta. I'm still in shock that the remaining #6400s at 74th,Chicago and Kedzie haven't been prepped to stay in running condition up to this point. I know that they're a last resort for spares and all but at least keep them active enough to be used worse case scenario. If not just send them to SS and send them off into retirement like the rest of the buses we received. What’s saving kedzie probably is the fact that they lost the need for 30 artics with reductions on Lasalle, water tower and its express runs but not the artics themselves so there’s probably not really a need to break out the novas quite yet. Chicago seems peak heavy even if not in the way 103rd or NP is; I know one weekends there service levels are low enough to be able to run all 8100s and let the flyers rest before covid bought artics back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There on 26 right now I don’t remember seeing them recently enough to remember if they were in the 4014-4040’s range that 77ths been holding cause 103rd’s assignments became sporadic number wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well technically the last 10 artics Chicago still has is enough to bring 6 and 26 back to fully artic runs. And as far as 125, and 143 those used to be All artic as they came from LaSalle runs (which is still using 40ft and 10 min frequencys vs the prepademic 2-3 min all artic headways) but still use 40ft as a result of the main run blocks they are intertlined with staying reduced hence why 77th still has those 30 K artics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
