briman94 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 Corrected..... I'm used to the amber LED bus displays.... But in regards to the LED Next Stop displays in the car, I don't think the 3200's will be getting those. I think only the 5000's(and presumably 7000's) will have those. There were no orders for them for the 3200s. The 5000s and 7000s have to have them for ADA requirements but they aren't required to put them on older ones. Quote
BusHunter Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Well #3217-22 just left Clark/Lake on the brown line all in one consist. #5619-20 is on the purple line also. Quote
BusHunter Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 #3363-68 and #3313-14 is all in one consist on the orange line run #717. #3261-64 is also on the brown. Quote
garmon757 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Well #3217-22 just left Clark/Lake on the brown line all in one consist. #5619-20 is on the purple line also. #5501-02 and #5349-50 are also on the Purple Line. Quote
briman94 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 So are they taking consists from the Brown line to rehab, then moving ones from Orange to Brown? Why would they do that? Quote
BusHunter Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Probably they want to rehab the #3200's first before the #3300's. If Brown line is heavily stocked with cars they can rehab the #3200's off the brown. Orange line might become all #3300's and #3400's until they get to rehabbing them. Quote
Sam92 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 #5501-02 and #5349-50 are also on the Purple Line. One day you guys are gonna heed my advice and realize whatever in Howard can appear on any line at this point :lol: 4 Quote

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Hey, nice way to put me underneath the train!!! Whoops! I don't go up to Howard yard that much, so my joke was just a general one. I got no info on Howard Yard right now. I spotted something weird at Forest Park Yard though. Two Blue Line trains were laid up on the curve by the highway and were positioned so that their last cars were almost lined up with each other. Both of them had their tail lights and red marker lights on, and as I drove closer to them on the highway, I noticed that one set had normal looking tail lights, and the other sets had tail lights that were flickering and dimming. At first I thought it was that weird effect you get when you're moving past a light and looking at it through a fence or something so it flickers. But when I was positive I could see the train clearly, its lights were still flickering. I couldn't tell if the interior lights were doing the same thing since the good train was blocking the view.

I see that alot when I ride with my mom. Quote
briman94 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 I saw 5631-5632 on the red line today; they're not on the roster yet. Quote
peter.pyterek Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 I saw 5631-5632 on the red line today; they're not on the roster yet.They've already been in the roster for 2 days. Quote
briman94 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 They've already been in the roster for 2 days. I don't see them on the first page...looked under red, purple, and yellow. Red only goes up to 630. Quote
Chicagos_D Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 I don't see them on the first page...looked under red, purple, and yellow. Red only goes up to 630. BusHunter did update the roster count if you scroll down. Quote
artthouwill Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 One day you guys are gonna heed my advice and realize whatever in Howard can appear on any line at this point I said that a long time ago when the Purple first starting seeing 5000s in revenue service. The Red/Yellow/Purple maps on all three lines were a dead giveaway. Quote
BusHunter Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 I saw 5631-5632 on the red line today; they're not on the roster yet. They came in on tuesday and were sent to Linden yard. Don't know how they ended up on the red line. Well this is the last rush hour of Wilson track 1!! Quote
garmon757 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 10 southbound and 21 northbound (11 in a 7 1/2 span between Howard and North/Clybourn) Red Line trains. I'm sorry but I find that very appalling and a disgrace..... It's already bad enough to see such segregation on that line. Quote

The trains arrive at one end, unload, and drive into a rift back to the other end... 2 Quote

Busjack Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 I don't know if that was sarcasm but very clever of you though! Mr. Spock is dead, but Brian Greene had a show on quantum physics on Nova supposedly explaining how it could be done. I was not sure whether he beamed you up or just created an alternative you at the destination. Quote
qwantae Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 I guess to those who are fans of riding the 2600s on the Red Line, better hurry and catch them before rest of them will be off the Red Line soon. How many are left still on the Red? Quote
