To be exact, 8260-8275, 8277-8279, 8281-8286, 8289-8299 and 8322-8324. 8287 joined the others at Kedzie after that weekend. In return, Forest Glen received 1618-1626, 1628, 1630-1643 and 1645-1665 (however, some of those might be out of service such as 1646). These New Flyers joined 1627, 1629 and 1644 at Forest Glen, resulting in a continuous block of 1592-1665 at Forest Glen. That same weekend, Kedzie received 21 other 8300s from 103rd that same weekend: 8301-8321. (8276, 8280, 8288 and 8300 remain at 103rd.)

Rhys Pate Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Why are the destination signs off center? I have seen this on CTA buses since May or June I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.NewFlyer1279 Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 1083, 1803, and 1871 have showed up at FG few days ago and have been there since…….could there possibly be something soon? or these may just be loans (Update: 1832 has joined the other 3) (Update #2: all buses are back at North Park) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajuan Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 1209, 1268 and 1277 have been showing up operating out of 103rd for at least a week now. 1471 popped up just today running out of there, but I'm inclined to look at that one as a loan.

It always puzzles me how 103rd gets loaned equipment while they have a surplus of equipment that slowly seems to be coming back and getting shipped off to other garages at the same time. Seeing #7906 at FG was something I did not expect happening though. Kind of wish all of the elderly #7900s could be moved to FG. Wishful thinking though. ???

Sam92 Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Never seen a garage help out the 20 itself for united center events. Whoever has 4079 is loaning it out on the 20 right now. I've seen the 146 extras and 152 extras for the cubs and bears but first time I've spotted extras on the 20 I usually only see the 19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao And I'll be darn if I'm not on 7906 riding on the 84 at this very moment that I'm responding to you.? But yes it is funny that after 103rd gave up a good 50-some NFs only to see a few NFs from other garages come in regardless of if they're there temporarily or not.

That is because FG is short on operable buses at the moment. Both K (7906, 8272 and 8273) and NP lent out a few of their buses to help FG out.
