Someone already updated this one. 1380(?)-1385 C to F also. 1377 still at C, but not sure about 1378-79. 1835-1839 C to K. An additional move: Migration of 2 or 3 buses from North Park to Kedzie: 1842 & 1846. (Uncertain about 1847. 1848 remains at NP.) (Source: Math22's roster of buses in real-time service.) I saw 1379 on Diversey and 1847 on Broadway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordguy Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 One more reassigned vehicle to report. I spotted 4197 covering a short-turn Sheridan run yesterday. Not sure whether any additional 4190s migrated from 103rd to Kedzie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiTown Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 1000 series New Flyers buses from 1000-1429 should come back to Kedzie garage one day. It's been a min since those buses been at Kedzie garage. I'm happy that Chicago Ave garage have some but CTA bring some back to Kedzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because with the change in schedules, stuff happens. If anything, after the last big series of moves, they should have been FG buses.

No.Your thinking about 4096-4097. However, 4097 is no longer Jump wrapped, but still at 103rd. 4196-4197 are the longitude seating Stimulus Artics.

I don't even think that matters so much anymore between the jump buses both steadily being unwrapped and just being assigned to any artic route instead of staying on runs assigned to or interlined with J14.

andrethebusman Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Per official September 2017 assignment list: 1821 gone. Reason?? 4300, 7900 back on list. Have either been actually seen recently? 804 only 800 left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdRailVision Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 There's 4-car train running backwards and forwards on the NSML, southbound purple line track (track 1?) between Sheridan Rd. in Rogers Park and some point further south. Any ideas why the strange movement? Training purposes? Video attached. IMG_7613.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, all I got was a train heading downward into the ground, as the video wasn't that descriptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That #1805 picture looks bad, that bus looks to be out at least two years from the damage. https://chitransit.org/topic/1542-more-bus-moves/?do=findComment&comment=94876 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 9 hours ago, Ajdin Tabucic said: do you know why they moved i know now 1000-1004 are back at FG. Chicago also gave 1379-1385 to FG Simply put, as got mentioned before part of the summer to fall schedule change. Chicago didn't need extra buses any longer to handle beach service on the #72 and FG needed buses back to do school service on a number of its routes like at the north end of the #91 to/from Bryn Mawr/Nagle for Taft High School. When it comes to reasons for specific fleet numbers, you'd have to ask CTA Bus Operations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
