Busjack Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 6515 with the TwinVision Chroma sign is well documented and a picture is in the Gallery. If you have any other numbers, please let us know. 6709-6883 originally came with the TwinVision LEd signs, and some were retrofitted into some 6400s at 77th (forgot the number, but it was in the 6440s on State).

Busjack Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 The TwinVision site (finally updated after 3 years) explains the two products. Luminator also has the Horizon, which is the amber one, and Spectra, which is a multicolor one. Both allow color to differentiate transit routes. For instance, CTA could have used blue to indicate a run to the Blue Line. Aesys is an Italian company offering a similar product. CTA is apparently trying several vendors' products; I don't know why it dumped TwinVision for Luminator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
