BusHunter Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 Fg has another one from Chicago #6530 on the #92 and I forgot to mention they have #6545 from a few days ago debuting on the #77. Quote
ajm522 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 1335 is on #8. Think it was just a whatever bus. It has no garage sticker. Quote
busfan2847 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 1335 is on #8. Think it was just a whatever bus. It has no garage sticker. 1335 has been at 77th since Dec-13. It is the only one of the 1335-1344 batch, moved into 77th in Dec-2013, not to have moved on. Quote

briman94 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 I was just taking a look at the online Train Tracker and I noticed that their header picture is quite strange...It almost looks like the train in the back has an LED run sign, but it could just be the lighting. The weird part is the "Kimball" train at the back and an Orange line in the front, and it's not in the loop...what station would that be? :blink: Quote

Hence, unless someone knows something else, it looks like the Photoshop Station. Blowing up the picture, it looks like the back car is 3363. Quote

Hence, unless someone knows something else, it looks like the Photoshop Station.That, and look just under the yellow "wifi" icon on the Orange line train...it looks like a reflection of an amber LED sign, but another train couldn't fit there...I'm starting to think you're right :P Quote

That picture look like is Belmont (Red,Brown and Purple Line NB ) station. Quote
BusHunter Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 That Orange line train says Howard. Probably an old picture. Quote

It almost looks like the train in the back has an LED run sign, but it could just be the lighting. The weird part is the "Kimball" train at the back and an Orange line in the front, and it's not in the loop...what station would that be? Most likely Belmont. The three giveaways to me are on the train in the foreground. Note the Yellow-Yellow markers on the closer train. Those are used for Howard and 95th. Also, check out the window on the front door. It doesn't have a split so that it can open, and since the train front is similar to a 3200, that makes it a 2600. On the 3200s the window can open, and it has a split. Finally, if you look at the front left (of the train) window, you'll notice that there's a bunch of signals reflected in it, probably for Clark Junction. Hope this helps! Quote

Now that you point that out, it is a red line...I didn't pay attention to the class lights; the sign looks orange but I guess it's a red line. Lighting's just a bit odd...makes the signs look strange. Quote

Lighting's just a bit odd...makes the signs look strange. Yeah. When Garmon757 took a bunch of pictures of new 5000s on the Red Line a while back, the lighting occasionally made the side LED signs look orange as well... Quote

I remember that "This is an Orange Line train to 95th!" Your camera sure did a number on that sign on 5538... Quote
NewFlyerMCI Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 What was the purpose of Orange Line trains to Wilson? Do they still have those? I'm only wondering because this picture brought back the times when I saw the roll-signs switch from Howard to Express on the Dan and it passing over an orange colored "Wilson" Quote

I'm only wondering because this picture brought back the times when I saw the roll-signs switch from Howard to Express on the Dan and it passing over an orange colored "Wilson" I'm not sure if it was a faded sign, or it was like the Ford City sign, and the Orange Line never went there either, unless it levitated.

garmon757 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Looks like somebody corrected the bus stop sign (no longer 67/79/71st; your prior reference and there were more of them, like east of Stony Island).Indeed. Most of the signs were replaced with newer ones instead of patching the old ones. Quote
YoungBusLover Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Found something interesting on youtube this morning, It was very good to watch some Nostalgia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Waafb0tv7as Quote
geneking7320 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Did the electronic signs on the 5K's always have the tern (or swift?) on the inside of the car [on Yellow Line trains bound for Skokie]? I think I noticed this earlier this year but can't recall seeing it when the 5K's first arrived. Quote
Busjack Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 ...., It was very good to watch some Nostalgia..... Sort of like the attachment to the fare box issuing transfer cards. 1 Quote

I think I noticed this earlier this year but can't recall seeing it when the 5K's first arrived. It's been there from the beginning as far as I know. It might not have been there back when the 5000s had amber outer signs, but that was for a very short period of time and the yellow line didn't have 5000s back then. Quote

Back when the 5000s were tested systemwide, the amber signs were briefly used on the Yellow Line and displayed the swift logo. It's hard to see in this picture, but it's there. Quote
NewFlyerMCI Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 That's right.. I forgot. I thought that it got moved since I havent seen it in awhile. Meanwhile, 77th continues its power-hungry quest to acquire more buses... #1226 is on 79 (NP -> 77th) #1089 is on 4 (Chicago -> 77th) Quote
