Busjack Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I seriously didn't know that.Those have been showing up in the suburbs. Also, all the Advanced Disposal garbage trucks are CNG.The thing I wonder about is whether the natural gas from all the flares on Mount Trashmores (dumps) could be recovered.

andrethebusman Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I've been seeing them for the last year or so. Plus almost all of Peoples Gas trucks are CNG.Streets & San has at least 2 hybrid garbage trucks based at Western/Berwyn garage 10901-10902. Thay are also odd as they are 3 axle, but rear axle has only single tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 DNAinfo did an article with the voice of the CTA surprising riders. CTA Tattler had just posted something on this, but it turns out it was a different video also on DNAInfo.Also, there is a reference to sw's favorite politician , who only has about 9 years to serve on his sentence.

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I thought this was pretty cool. A CNG cement truck.I'm assuming they're working on the Circle Interchange or something nearby, because I keep seeing them on Halsted St. by UIC. I like the artwork on their fuel tanks.

Busjack Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I seriously doubt it.BMW does it. However, I wonder if it is cost effective for all the flares around here. Especially since Advanced is in the garbage business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.cta85 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 4187 is back in service guys, I saw it yesterday heading northbound as a 6, for real this time lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 It isn't how dense the signals are, but how close on the prior train's tail you were. However, the Brownage wouldn't have as many stops in that stretch.It still highlights what you implied in your other thread that the Purple should go into the subway, but with all the proposed construction zones on the north main, I don't see the Purple really being express until maybe 2027.Yeah when they start to getting into the construction projects north of Wilson you're probably right especially at that point one would count express as including speed and not just distance traveled without making service stops. For right now though, it's still pretty express even with AM rush trains stopping southbound at Wilson, Sheridan and Addison. That's still an express zone of 30 blocks, 2 blocks shy of being 4 miles, compared against the normal express zone of 5.5 miles (44 blocks).Streets & San has at least 2 hybrid garbage trucks based at Western/Berwyn garage 10901-10902. Thay are also odd as they are 3 axle, but rear axle has only single tires.Yeah I've seen those. I previously thought they were from the Devon/Ridge facility since that's which one I'm close to and I see them in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Speaking of random, I was on a northbound #9 yesterday morning, 1060 to be exact. And this guy standing at the front of the bus took his bare fist and punched the glass on one of the front doors, cracking the glass into a bunch of splinters at the point he punched it. That's just how hard he punched the glass. This occurred at the Ashland/Washington stop just as the operator was going to pull away to head to Lake. She had to take the bus out of service obviously. So 1060 will out for a days to get that glass replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 What the hell is #1761 doing on #74??? I would guess going to Fullerton and Halsted or Fullerton and Central.However, BusHunter had posted that it appeared that C was dumping its Novas and going all NF.

geneking7320 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I guess this falls into the random category :This past Wednesday I boarded a NF 43XX working route 95W eastbound at 95th and Normal. I think this must have been a school run and was after 2pm.This was the first time I recall seeing artics on 95W. When the bus discharged passengers at the Red Line station it went Not In Service.

On one hand, it would serve him right if he cut up his hand, but on the other he would probably try to sue the CTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand, it would serve him right if he cut up his hand, but on the other he would probably try to sue the CTA.Not just cut, I would actually be surprised if he didn't find later that day that his hand was broken since it takes a lot of force to break the glass in the manner that occurred with just his fist.

jajuan Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I thought DOT required Lexan.Another reason I was thinking more along the lines his hand being more likely broken if from his blatant stupidity he did sustain an injuries that required treatment.
