I would assume at this time yes. In regards to the remaining #8600s to enter serivce there is about 10 or so left at SS waiting to be cleared for serivce. I saw two earlier today sitting at 78th and Vincennes next to #6163 that appear to be waiting for pickup later on this evening if not tomorrow. I believe they were #8634 and #8636.

8634 and 8636 entered yesterday out of Kedzie

Well so far, this latest move is confirming the hypothesis that NP would continue to see additions of displaced NFs from garages further south.

I wonder how many more they'll receive before the winter pick. For 77th to willingly give up Flyers instead of Novas has me a bit concerned for the current spare ratio we have. The #8350s we have current aren't running up to par like the rest of the fleet around the system.

Already, before the Thanksgiving holiday NP received some, but not all, of 77th’s 1400s and 1500s.  This may mean that at least some of the new 8600s will go to 77th (in addition to the bulk of those going to K).

77th still has 1416, 1417, 1418, 1435, 1437, 1440, 1442, 1560, 1561, 1574, 1586, 1590.

NP is on a bus shortage due to the severe cold all the buses from C and F are loans hence why 103rd has 77th’s buses

Might also be partly related to there still not being quite as many artics running today. Yes there are definitely more out than there were Friday and Saturday when we were in the midst of the snowstorm warning, but it still seemed to be less out across the board beyond those NP itself has out today than normally out for a weekday. Between those who could staying home due to the extreme cold and there being no school because it being Dr. King Day, it was a lighter amount of commuters out today. So it's not like the extra capacity was as needed anyway.
