Only a small block of the 6400s are back not the entire fleet itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way that's still something. It's not too much of a surprise though, because even before this pick, C had a tendency to keep just about all its 40 ft NFs parked during the weekends while running its Novas instead. The real surprise is that there were any NF 40 footers out at all during the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow_Train Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hello-- Apologies if this isn't the right place for this post. I'm a Chicago-based illustrator with an interest in history and transit (among other things, like architecture). I wanted to post this preview of a piece I'm making and see whether it checks out. I thought this might be the best community and thread for that. Mainly I'm curious to know if you see any errors? I couldn't include EVERY generation of surface transit, but wanted to get some of the major technological shifts. Thanks very much. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here would probably make u draw every bus model cta has ever had if we were honest ?. Only error i see is the artic bus drawn is one of the diesel only NABI buses cta had in the 2000s they had that would break in half, the correct model would be this series https://chicagobus.org/buses/4000-de60lf/photos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethebusman Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 2nd row last one (ACF) should be cream and red. Only blue ones were Fords 4301-4309 that were delivered in ODT gray and painted before entering service to resemble the prewar PCCs. All other pre 1945 buses were red. After that mercury green, cream and swamp holly orange until 1950, then the cream and green we all remeber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Was looking at this rtams site. And it says there are 31 #4300's hybrids.

andrethebusman Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 4300 seems to be like 7900. 7900 has spent much of its life at Greenwood, but apparently has been used in service time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
