Ok guys roster updated. Rather than moving the #6800's and #6400's as a block, even though we do know where those two blocks should go, I'm going to move those one by one. This way we can see if something's retired. Putting all the rehabbed buses in a few spots might shake up the Nova population. Maybe they are trying to get a few more buses retired. I need to see if the lower #6400's are still at 74th as they might be gone. Seems like they are holding the #8000's as we still don't know where there going. I put the two Fg #1000's buses up for fun but those are probably loans but FG could use them even if they are unrehabbed!! An unrehabbed #1000 is better than nothing!! :P:lol:

Looks like 74th may have got all the ex #6800's that were at 77th. In it's place it sent FG #6600's. I think this does put Fg higher on the list because they now are getting close to having all the oldest buses. Just the Chicago #6500's and #6400's are older now.

What do you mean??? They do have all the oldest buses!!! That garage has neither new or rehabbed equipment. Ill be leaving in a bit to go fuel our Flxible #6163. :)

1201 is on 86 Narragansett Ridgeland

Maybe CTA has seen the light!! :lol: I hope so. You know they could pass over 50-60 unrehabbed buses from Kedzie. Maybe Kedzie wouldn't be so burdened with rehabbing half the garage in a few months. Maybe that's the plan. I'd go for that. But what would Kedzie get? The #6700's??? That would be different.

No they don't... well maybe. ^_^ but they could have gave them the Chicago and 74th #6400's!! Then we can watch FG do the impossible. At least these #6600's look a lot nicer on the outside being indoors there whole life.. The #6800's are no prize either. But not having amber LED signs on over half the fleet does suck. It doesn't really matter too much anyway. Most of the Novas will be gone in a year. Should be 200 more coming in this year. What does that leave? Probably the amber novas.

#1929's on the #82. I think this brings 77th down to 6 #1900's left. Damn make that 5. I just saw #1938 down here at Kimball/Armitage On the #73.[/quote

Those have been gone for awhile. 1928/29 since that Kedzie swap and 1938 since that 74th swap.

77th has:

1935

1936

1939

1945

1946

1948

1952

1954

1982

1986

1988

1993

Sorry, I was thinking unrehabbed #1900's There should still be #1944, #1947, #1965, #1971 and #1973

My bad and Im glad they kept some rebabbed 1900's. Yeah 77th has some kind of power. Like I'm on 1575 right now and 77th wasted no time putting their mark on these busses. It's only been a week.

#1045 is on #49 (#1317 may be possible being part of 74th). #1303 is on #62. #1796 is on #47. #1868 is on #9. #1869, #1872, #1876, #6835, and #6855 are on #67. #6603 is on #90. #6619 is on #85.

Update: #1060 and #6860 are on #9. #1689 is on #36. #1898 is on #62.

All 1900s remaining at 74th have been forfeited AGAIN for the second time in less than a month. Expect to see them at Chicago.

That's the second time in about as many weeks that 1689 has moved. It was just at 74th as of the week before last.

Wait what? NFs were on FG routes? :lol: Since it was only two sighted so far, I sadly have to agree with BusHunter's assessment that they may have only been loans with all this freaking shuffling of buses going on. IF the as of yet to be seen on the road 8000s Garmon photographed have any play in this you would think they would just wait until those buses were assigned like in prior times we saw a new model being delivered before starting another round of ridiculous bus shuffling. Compared to other bus deliveries, this one seems to be causing the most chaos in terms of unnecessary early swapping and unneeded deadheading. And it's no surprise that it coincides with Claypool being in charge of things at the main offices.

Well that doesn't mean much with the garage stickers. 74th swapped the K stickers for their 6 on those lower 1600s they got from Kedzie within a few days of those buses being reassigned there.

103rd bus update lol we got 1126 I saw it today as a 15, 1209 and 1799 are still there as well. Have anybody seen 1798 I'm not sure if that bus was transferred or not.

The first day of the transfer #1798 was at Kedzie so if it's by you it came back.

BTW #1858's on the #55, #1301's on the #49 going south from the north end at 11:30PM. Isn't that too late to be a NP run? #1301 and #1302 might be 74th's.

I seriously don't think Claypool have any part of those moves, unless it's a public release on Channel 2, 5, 7, 9, and 32! :lol:

But I think Claypool has the authorization to approve these moves.

I really doubt that any "President" is micromanaging to this level. That's why there are Executive Vice Presidents, Garage Superintendents, and the like.

One could argue that Claypool probably doesn't do anything for his $215K salary, as everything is "under the leadership of Mayor Rahm Emanuel," and he is either saying that he doesn't listen to anyone other than consultants, or sends out the flacks to explain stuff. But I guess that someone has to stand behind Fearless Leader at press events.

Claypool wouldn't know the difference between a 1900 and a 4300 even if one hit him.
