CTA TMCs and Flexibles Headed for Scrap

I went by the 79th Street Garage, and they were several rows of TMCs and Flexible Metros ready for Scrap. All had "SCRAP" painted on them in several places, plus 'tires replaced', 'A/C removed', 'tank drilled', 'fluids drained' and 'tires replaced' written on them. They also had their license plates removed.

Where do scrap CTA Vehicles end up? Do they have a specific Salvage Yard they use, or are they cut up on site?

Wow, CTA still has some of these left? I thought majority of the TMCs and old Flxs were already scrapped.

The place where CTA sends these is a scrap yard at S Ewing and 95th. I swung by that scrap yard back in 2008 and saw lines of TMCs there ready to be shredded.

A while back I posted some pics of TMCs at the scrapper. I had a chance to enter the scrao yard and get close up to the buses. These pics can be found in the "Whats left of 4400s" section on this site.
