BusHunter Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 1965 and 1966 were out as recent as yesterday on 77th routes. Didnt C have all of those busses before? I'm thinking lower 77th 1900's will go to 6 while upper ones return to C. Chicago had the #1970's evens a few years ago. But 77th has always had the odds. But come to think of it the evens #1968 to #1930's were at NP when Chicago had the #1970's evens. But originally i believe 103rd had the #1900 evens up to #1992 when they got them all until #2015. Some of last ones never ran in service at 103rd and eventually went into service at Chicago. This should be in my #1000's roster link on the garage roster page. But it is a WIP, but you can see how they originally came in what numbers to where. Someday I'll finish it up in the not too distant future as I'll have to update the other in service fleets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Park's D40LF Allison Transmission roster was the following a few years back.... 1930,1932,1934,1936,1938,1940,1942,1944,1946,1948,1950,1952,1954,1956,1958,1960,1962,1964,1966, 1968,1970,1972,1974,1976,1978,1979,1980 Then it was trimmed to.... 1964,1966,1968,1970,1972,1974,1976,1978,1979,1980 And before all of them were transferred out... 1972,1974,1976,1978,1979,1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 you mean winter pick lol Yeah I just want it to be spring already. I'm not looking forward to the potentially colder winter weather. LOL 1800-54: 103rd 1855-99 (odds): North Park before receiving 1856-64 (evens) from Chicago 1856-98 (evens): Chicago before starting at 1866. I think Busjack might have been speaking of original assignment after initial deliveries in which his memory would have been correct that up until the time that Chicago got 1800s, 1900s and the 2000s assigned, the even numbered 1800s were all at 103rd and all the odd ones were at NP. Taking into account sw's memory, that even odd split was 1430-1928 evens to 103rd, 1431-1929 odds to NP, 1931-1977 odds to 77th, 1930-1980 evens plus 1979 to NP and 1981-2029 to 103rd briefly before 1856-1962 evens (and later the other even Allison buses to 1980) and 1981-2029 found their way to Chicago.

Mr.cta85 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 1870 was back again at 103rd this time as a 95E, 1241 was spotted as a 34. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm522 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 1870 is back at Chicago on the #120 This may have been a 103rd operator filling in for a C operator with a C based bus... (I know sounds weird). 1870 was back again at 103rd this time as a 95E, 1241 was spotted as a 34. I have a feeling that bus never left 103rd, I wouldn't see why they would transfer it back and forth like that.. Off topic: 1971 @ 103rd may be a hint of whats coming with winter pick.

geneking7320 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Many of us have seen beggars singing or rapping for $$ on the Red Line. Christmas night I saw one with his dog. He tied the dog to a stanchion while he attempted to work the car. It was a small long-haired dog [don't know what breed] that thankfully didn't crap on the floor . You'll have to take my word for it because I didn't get pics or a video. Happy Boxing Day all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajm522 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hmmm I wonder what 74th will get in return if anything at all.......... That will be interesting. I honestly thought that the 1900's at 77th were history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.cta85 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm sure 74th still have some 1900's left, he only mentioned 3 buses being back at 77th which were 1938,40 and 43. I believe 74th had a total of about 7 or 8 1900's from 77th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordguy Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hmmm I wonder what 74th will get in return if anything at all.......... They did get more units. 74th received at least nine 1100s from 77th, if not more. (1101-1109) Weirdly, it looks as if 74th was also honored with some ancient hand-me-downs from FG --- at least three and possibly more. (6423 & 6471-72).

ajm522 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm thinking 77th probably got their 1900's back in exchange for 1100-1109+ Edit: 1942 on #3 1949 on #79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
