garmon757 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 So, what sense does it make for #1109 to be back at 77th after being at 103rd for a couple of days? I've spotted it on #3 this morning near Michigan/Chicago. Quote
Busjack Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 So, what sense does it make for #1109 to be back at 77th after being at 103rd for a couple of days? I've spotted it on #3 this morning near Michigan/Chicago. Probably a loaner or tot take care of a temporary shortage. I didn't want to mention it, but one of my reactions to the title of this thread was "should all 1800 buses be on chocks?" Quote
ajm522 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Now its 1736's turn to be at 77th about to begin on #8 SB @ Chicago. 1 Quote

BusHunter Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 Since when is a bus riding around with the vent cover open anyway Quote
Mr.cta85 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 77th's 1261 on #71. 1258-62 were sent to 103rd during the winter swap, they belong to us now lol!!...although I still have yet to see 1259 but still lol. Quote
MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 I have no clue as to why a person would put themselves in such great danger like that but stupidity wins this battle........... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBj4nVUlv2E Until I saw this post, I didn't know those buses had a handle there. Thankfully the cover she was holding on to didn't detach from the bus. Just pay your fare like everyone else. Quote

Thoughts on this one??? Dated: 11/19/14 Bus: 6498 Route: 86 Narragansett at North & Ridgeland http://youtu.be/gR1Q7H0HTPQ 2 Quote
garmon757 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 #1341 is no longer at 74th because it's at Kedzie while on #7 this morning. #1108 is on #51. #1242 is on #52. #1239 is back at 77th while on #53A Quote
ajm522 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 Looks like there was a trade overnight... 77th gave 74th some 1900's and Kedzie and 74th gave 77th some various NF's. 1098 - 8A1099 - 8A1106 - 791129 - 8 - (Kedzie?)1133 - 87 1152 - 791153 - 8A1561 - 31565 - 31566 - 871569 - 791573 - 52A1575 - 8A1592 - 3 (Kedzie)? ---1930 - 471931- 591932 - 491933 - 751937 - 671938 - 631940 - 471943 - 941951 - 551955 - 491957 - 591960 - 631966 - 62H1972 - 91975 - 591980 - 441983 - 621989 - 9 Just when 77th gets the 1900's back they give them back to 74th plus more. Some few rehabbed 1900's are left at 77th 1935, 1952, 1993, 1982. This move is confusing for me but maybe others can shed different light. 1 Quote
ArcherRider Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 This morning I saw Kedzie NF #1130 is on the #4. Quote

BusHunter Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 This trade is about the most sporadic trade yet. #1134 and #1135 are still at Kedzie, #1988 is still at 77th and #1593 has joined 77th. Don't know what they are trying to achieve here unless it's too confuse us. Quote
garmon757 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 #1928 is on #52. #1082 is on #82. #1992 is on #9. Quote
ajm522 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 #1928 is on #52. #1082 is on #82. #1992 is on #9. I just don't understand why they didn't just do this at the start of the pick and why 77th lost most of their 1900's. Quote

BusHunter Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 It's the Novas effect mate! They actually started washing the Fg ones yesterday. Before they were so black and sooty they cleaned only the bus numbers because you could no longer see them. Talk about major accomplishments!! #6882 went into service at Fg for the first time this week since it was at 74th. I wonder where it has been. Hopefully it has more original wood partitions than the other #6880's!! 1 Quote
Busjack Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 It's the Novas effect mate! By my count, it is only the Nova effect for 4 buses (18 to 74th, 14 to 77th, from ajm's list). It isn't really clear whether the pick has an effect, other than the schedule changes with the pick. But, apparently someone thought 74th needed something somewhat newer that what it had. Quote

That may play a factor but it's a key piece that's missing with these unprecedented swaps but still all these moves is making Forest Glen look like crap. Quote

I haven't been keeping up with the garage roster and there doesn't seem to be an archive of them, but the questions basically are whether 77th hand 285 buses before the Nova deliveries began and whether there has been any net outflow of 1000s.

Only time will tell about that but my concern is, what's holding Forest Glen back from obtaining some NF's? Quote
BusHunter Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 Only time will tell about that but my concern is, what's holding Forest Glen back from obtaining some NF's? I could joke that 77th getting the #1100's is setting up for them to get more #7900's and transfer those low #1000's to FG but it could really be reality. I really doubt when the time comes for FG to get #1000's, they will get anything other than the base order or first option. I doubt they will get any of the last 400. It's almost funny to imagine CTA brass cringing when they have to send them something because obviously they don't want to do it or Fg would've had something by now. Quote
garmon757 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 #1547 and #1564 are on #3. #1576 is on #4. #1567, #1593, and #1620 are on #8. #1572 is on 8A. #1560, #1590 and #1591 are on #79. #1574 is on #87. Quote

This is by far one of the more weird trades. If anything I would think 77th should of just gave away what they took first and left the 1900's. Most of these busses (1100, 1900) were just transfered a couple weeks ago. Quote
