The Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training Academy in Glenview has a Metra car for training in case of disaster; something similar here? Quote
BusHunter Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Posted August 14, 2014 Some pictures surfaced on chicago l facebook of the move of the #2200's to irm. Here they are. Quote
BusHunter Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 A friend who visited IRM last month shared some pictures with me of the operation of #2243-44. I didn't know these were already operational. They said they only ran on the inner loop though. 1 Quote

Can anyone verify what those cars are? I suppose they could also be 2400s. Quote
Busjack Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 On the bottom pic, there appears to be a 2600 series set of cars. Can anyone verify what those cars are? No, they are the oft-vandalized 2000s in a later scheme. You can see the number window over the first picture window. From the IRM site, 2153 and 2154. Quote

From the IRM site, 2153 and 2154. I think he means the ones in the back (left side) of the photo. They do look like 2400s or 2600s Quote

BusHunter Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 That's #2433-34 it should be in the #2400's picture I uploaded before at the station at irm. Quote
blanham Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 So I made an interesting spot tonight while catching up on the past two episodes of CBS's show "Person of Interest": http://imgur.com/a/YFGjW Look familiar? Quote

Car 2306 is a train car of interest. Thanks for posting the link with the pics. Quote
BusHunter Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Posted December 25, 2014 Remember #2347-48? And Jungle Jim's an Ohio grocer had one of the winning bids. I looked up his store on Youtube and found out he has a monorail and waterfall/fountain in the parking lot. He has a bunch of really way out stuff in his store like a boat in the seafood section. He claims you can buy many kinds of seafood items live swimming around, he has tanks of seafood. He has a fire truck over the spice section and i believe a dairy truck over the dairy section. He also has a provolone cheese that's like 2 stories tall. He has an animated Campbell's Soup display probably over the soup. A really weird store. They claim there's two in the Cincinnatti area. Here's a video on the store https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI5YjuScEo0 This monorail really works, there's a youtube video of someone riding it, isn't that something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe4NDQkCgx0 All this makes me wonder what he plans to do with the #2200 series car but it should be interesting. 1 Quote

andrethebusman Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 What actually happened to 2341? Was it scrapped at Skokie or sold to a scrapper (maybe Pielet?) Quote

Juniorz Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 Cool, i remember when it had all that graffiti plastered all over, glad they FINALLY are doing something useful with it Quote
BusHunter Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Posted November 7, 2015 Hopefully they have stepped up security. The taggers are probably itching to get at it. Now it's on here it's just been made more public and probably a few taggers do view this site. Quote
