Well seeing as certain feeder routes to the orange line don't run 24 hours a day it would make sense for the 47 and N62. Quote

That was my thought as well; Anyone who needed the 47 would simply take the Orange Line to Kedzie & the N62 deviates to serve Midway anyhow. My other guess was to supplement the 54B, since the last trips to leave Cicero & Archer on weekdays are 11:20p (SB) & 12:00m (NB), but the 47 continues on until almost 1:30a Quote

Rushing people on these rosters that they don't have to do in the first place is VERY disrespectful as noted numerous times in this forum.

Didn't someone try to rob a 6, or something on Lake Park a while back in a getaway attempt? Quote
BusHunter Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Dont know what happened to #1007 but its traveling south on the kennedy right now on a cta tow truck flatbed. Didnt know they had one. The bus had a rear right lean maybe something with that axle Quote

If the bus is unable to be towed by a wrecker they need to have a way to transport the vehicle to a repair location. Quote

I hate to ask what happens when an artic has that problem. I dont know if I ever saw that long of a flatbed. How does it go under a viaduct? They have a towing method that they call a float which sounds like that axle is raised to run on a axle dolly. Usually if the brakes are locked theyll use that method. Why this was so special I dont know. I wish I could have seen the bus better I was traveling the other way. Hope it doesnt have serious damage. I bet this comes out for all the big wrecks like 5530. Quote
andrethebusman Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 Even major wrecks are usually handled by the regular 210-230-250-270. 300 is a rarely-seen 3-axle heavy duty wrecker. At one point in the 1980's I had a full truck roster, over 100 vehicles, some dating back to CSL days... Roster now is probably even bigger. Quote
NewFlyerMCI Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 Does anyone know the reason behind the 126's Harrison/Ashland/Damen routing and the WB-only routing along Central Park & Independence? Quote
Tcmetro Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 126 Harrison night and weekend service goes to the Medical District when the 7 doesn't run. Independence/Congress is for a front-door stop at the senior building. Quote
wordguy Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 Just happened to notice one reassignment, probably very recent: 8224 from Chicago Ave. to 74th Street. It's operating on Ashland as I type. Quote
