Probably cant spare that much either the 600s are not in service and who knows when that will be. Maybe the 6860 was a wiring fire. Buses are getting old and so is the wiring. Quote
BusOps Posted March 4, 2021 Report Posted March 4, 2021 1 hour ago, YoungBusLover said: I wonder if the recent fire of #6860 has anything to do with these moves because for what its worth I only count 41 buses so far sent to FG. Where's the other 30-33 buses that would break even with the loss? add #1600-#1602 to the list which is now up to 43. Yes this move has to deal with the electrical fire on #6860. CTA pulled all the remaining 6400s off the street and put them out of service 1 Quote

You stated 1052-53 came from NP/74th but turned around and stated they came from 103rd 1 Quote
