YoungBusLover Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Guess who's back in the boneyard again...You guess it #1245. #1020,#1168 and #1793 have also popped up back there. #1293 is parked in a different location among retired #6400s. #1904 hasn't moved in several months now sitting next to #6873. I wonder what the story behind that bus is. I'm still shocked to also see #6401 still here as well I thought bus would of been hauled off long ago.

I don't what's going on with there #4000s & #4300s but they really seem to be popping up every other week with some sort of defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I saw 5 different 4300s down yesterday (granted, most of them belonged to NP), and I'd have mentioned the other 2 if I got their numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing maybe 3 or 4 of NPs articles awaiting service along the south fence wall along 79th. One that comes to mind is #4373 its been sitting there for almost a month now. #4386 is also another one I remember seeing getting worked on for most of the late summer going into the fall.

Looks like 103rd artics tend to get longer blocks on the road compared to NP and K. I still say the fact that all the stimulus artics being assigned there isn't helping the case cause a lot of what we got been ran through by NP, then spent time in 24/7 service on 79th then got down here.

I’m also willing to bet (not entirely serious tho lol) that one little strip of pavement on LSD does something every single time, just chipping away lol.

A friend says sometimes it's safer to eat the bump otherwise you get a million people jumping in front of you And around you. Hell if we're talking bumps then the 6 drivers hitting the speed hump on Stony can't be any better cause they're usually late and hauling the whole route after LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck if 103rd actually traded directly to K sooner it might not be as bad since K artics are majority rush only (134, 156, 125) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well out of all the DE60LFs left in the country CTA seems to be the only one left with 2008-2009 models that are at or even past the 12 year life span for usage. CTA is in a box that they can't get out of for the next 3 - 4 years with these buses and I for one can attest that there time is almost up. 77th operators avoid the ones we have left for night cars on 79th and 87th unless they're forced to take them out, I for one have made it necessary to keep the arctics away from me for night cars. I don't understand the need for these elderly #4000's to be used overnight when we have semi young #7900s with less than 230k miles on them to be used overnight. Hell I usually get #1000s now just avoid getting the #4000s they try to make us pull out. 1 hour ago, NewFlyerMCI said: I’m also willing to bet (not entirely serious tho lol) that one little strip of pavement on LSD does something every single time, just chipping away lol.
