sw4400 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Posted June 26, 2014 This is getting way too mainstream. At least it brings memories when #2264 used to have those big decals. Also, this is weird. BET??? Jumbo text... so you can tell what car you're in from a distance... anyone want to BET that 6631 will be the last Nova 6400-Series to be retired? CTA is dropping hints here! 2 Quote

TripleTransit1 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 Might as well bring this up... We're less than halfway to seeing 2893-2898 return to service on the "L" again! They were out of service? Quote
sw4400 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Posted June 26, 2014 They were out of service? They currently are. They might retired except for Santa Train service during the Holiday Train season. Quote
sw4400 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Posted June 26, 2014 Anyone want a quiet car? Just get a Cell Phone Signal Jammer, like this rude jerk has nestled underneath his arms in a bag. Like the poster said, I'm pretty sure these are illegal for average joes to have. Mr. Quiet on CTA Quote
TripleTransit1 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 I didn't even know that they invented something that can jam up cell phone signals. Quote
Busjack Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 I didn't even know that they invented something that can jam up cell phone signals. The usual way it works is that it sends out a signal in competition with the gps so that the cell phone can't find the tower. Supposedly theaters were trying something like that. But as the facebooker indicates, probably not legal. Quote
ajm522 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 Does anyone know if pink "dots" on a bus above garage sticker represent a future transfer? I have been on a number of 77th NF with those pink dots. Mostly 1100 and 1200's. Quote

Like the poster said, I'm pretty sure these are illegal for average joes to have. Mr. Quiet on CTA There was a restaurant in the loop that would have a device that would blare a horn if someone was talking on their cell phone. Could you imagine if someone had one of these devices on a train. Quote
Busjack Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I've been seeing red and green dots also. That used to be called rabbititis. 3 Quote

garmon757 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I've forgot who was talking about the Dr. Pepper wraps on the 4000s but #4168 is one of them that's wrapped with it. Quote
garmon757 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 #4363 is a ghost bus on eastbound #152 (Cubs) Quote
ajm522 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I've been seeing red and green dots also. I remember last time we had the dots it was for Ventra. When I saw them recently at first I thought it was to signify a rehab,but even 1900's have them. I haven't seen another garage with the dots only 77th. Quote
jajuan Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 That used to be called rabbititis. Funny clip as always. But wasn't rabbititis signaled by red and yellow spots though? Quote
Busjack Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Funny clip as always. But wasn't rabbititis signaled by red and yellow spots though? Different colors in Elmer Fudd's bedroom and then at the end (with the reference to the red and yellow spots). That wasn't the whole cartoon, as I remember a portion where the rabbits were multiplying by coming out of an adding machine, like they were the tape. Also the coat on the tongue bit wasn't shown. I also gave Safeway customer service a bit of grief over that when they were pushing some sort of healthy kids food with Looney Tunes characters and said look for the color of the spots on the box.

Busjack Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 I was at a Chik-Fil-A (Vernon Hills) that had a mural of a Brown Line train (Kimball sign) with signs on the windows "Eat Mor Chikin." Getting even with Rahm? Quote

Getting even with Rahm? There's a billboard on 290 (facing inbound drivers) by the Forest Park yard with two cows painting the same "Eat Mor Chikin." onto the otherwise blank billboard. Looks like they took it up a notch. Quote
ctrabs74 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 I've forgot who was talking about the Dr. Pepper wraps on the 4000s but #4168 is one of them that's wrapped with it. I spotted one of them on the 22 this past Sunday afternoon at Clark and Addison. I was too far away to get a number, though. Quote
strictures Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Wonderful, just wonderful service on the NB 22 this early evening;) NOT! About 7:30 PM, saw five NB 22s in Rogers Park in a five minute period. Four artics & one 40 footer. Followed five minutes later by another 40 footer. Obviously the bizarre day/night double header at Wrigley screwed this up, but you'd think after decades of experience, someone in CTA management could figure out how to straighten this 80 times a year disaster out!

Rain, Summer Fest in Lincoln Park, traffic downtown, and the rerouting downtown because of the Dearborn Bridge being closed for construction on the riverside. You're not the only one though. Quote
sw4400 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Posted June 29, 2014 Red Line service had a slight delay recently because of a free-roaming, full-vaporous, full-torso apparition on a train. So who else can you call to take care of the problem? CPD? Nope... guns and tasers won't solve this problem... CFD? No, because water has no effect on them... There's only one group of people you can call.... Ghostbusters(on the Red Line!) Quote

On the other hand, I'm sure you can find the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man somewhere in Chicago. Quote
