CTA Bus Garage Rosters

[wordguy]

I think the old Novas have already been scattered in numerical clusters, with the lowest numbers south and the highest ones north. Over the past couple months, I remember Shannon posting videos of the old Novas being stored at a few of the garages, including his home depot, Kedzie. The lowest numbered one were at 103rd, high 67s at Kedzie, and low 68s at Chicago Ave. Policeman may the right; they may be used for school runs once the Chicago Public Schools reopen. It seems to make sense.

Do you think they will scatter the #6400s. Theres got to be some #6700's out there somewhere 

The only garage that has some #6700s is Kedzie. I'm not sure if 74th and 103rd have any hidden somewhere. I know at SS the 67/6800s I counted were getting prepared for possible maintenance and or retirement. #6759,#6705,#6738,#6724 ,#6713,#6710,#6734, and #6810 are still in the boneyard parked among other active buses waiting for service. So I'm not sure if and when they'll return. The remaining #6600s are probably done though. I remember seeing #6682 with paperwork regarding failed brakes or something along those lines.

Do you know what happened to 6755 and why it doesn’t run out of FG anymore (which it did a few times in May)? 6770 was also at FG but never operated after the others came out

The Nova without a front fleet number looks like the original 6400 (M119 823) which has been used as a mechanical trainer for many years.
