briman94 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yay, me!I had to guess on a few of them, but the only one I got wrong was which neighborhood the Green line didn't run through. Got all the operations questions right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman8119 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I got 14 of 15. Missed the red sign at Chicago (Brown Line). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I got 14 of 15. Missed the red sign at Chicago (Brown Line).Same here. The one that was obvious to me is that the Green Line does not stop in Hyde Park, based on someone once posting a question why on the CTA Tattler to that effect. My reaction was "if they extended it through Washington Park to a station at Hyde Park and Greenwood," but you know that was totally facetious.The Brown Line express north seemed to be a trick question.

ArcherRider Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I got all them correct on the test and they should do a bus routes test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously had to think about that trick question for a moment because of the fact that I've been on 5 of them that went express to Western. Now about that red art design at Chicago/Franklin, I knew that was going to throw some people off with that question. I ride the Brown Line awfully a lot to know that one.

Nearly messed up the Brown Line Express one, but I remembered taking that all the way back in '08. The red art did throw me off, so 14/15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyerMCI Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Someone asked for a bus routes quiz, so I made one. Hope you all do good! You do not have to put your real F/L name, but it does give you a certificate at the end if you did good.https://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=mta3otiynw==c6ic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) I was told the railroad down at Grand/Harlem had the #90 blocked for about a whole hour. The service is messed up now. We got 4 buses heading south within 20 minutes and 3 or 4 heading north. There a half hour gap behind my pack of buses.

BusHunter Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The supervisor seems to be on top of it. He's sending my bus to north ave only sb. The railroad is working on the tracks at 1st Avenue, River Grove. The street was shutdown this morning at the crossing for 10 days. The railroad delay might be related to that.

BusHunter Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Now they are using yellow check flags attached to wheel chocks out here at Rosemont yard in addition to the blue flags on the ends. I guess they are worried about a runaway. Didn't notice that in howard yard. Maybe cause their trains are newer.Btw, they had #3187-88 out for testing yesterday at Skokie Shops. Looks like it has all new wheels and underbody components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw4400 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I don't remember the significance of that car...was that one damaged in one of the accidents?I think you're mixing up 3187-3188 with 3177-3178, that set and 3171-3172. They were the ones in the ghost train incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Spotted two trains on the Blue Line with blue lights, one of which only had the emergency lights on in the car with the blue light. It's a shame that the 2600s there aren't being fixed up more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it...I think if they do decide to rehab that pair it will be more extensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was being ran with both the red and white lights on and it looks like it had this cable running through the window just like if you remember when the #5000's were testing on track 1 on the NS main around Bryn Mawr.

Hm, I'm intrigued. I guess we just need to keep an eye on them! Not sure what there would be to hook a cable up to unless they added some fancy electronics in the underbody.
