sw4400 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 With the number of artics returning to about the levels they were before the 7500-Series NABI 60-LFW's early retirement, has the beginning/NB termination of this route changed so the New Flyer DE60LF's can be used on this route? I remember the roof pods being too large to travel under the viaduct at Wilson and Ravenswood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetroShadow Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 This was changed at some point late in the spring, since Ravenswood/Leland and Wilson both were extremely tight squeezes. The loop makes more sense to accommodate passengers to the Metra, and along Lawrence, but leaves out Damen and the Brown Line passengers out (which they should be able to walk to the station anyway). I'm suprised they didn't entertain the idea of alternating routing between using Wilson-Damen and Ashland-Lawrence. Yeah it would be a crapshoot and the schedule would have to hold firm between 40s and 60s, but they should've at least figured it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
