BusHunter Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 If your getting tired of winter, and have the winter blues you can always ride the sunshine express, two new wrapped cars on the blue line from the CTA. (#3125-26 wrapped last week) The entire interior and exterior of the cars are wrapped for Tropicana, I believe. There were some Brown line cars wrapped the same way over the summer, but the wraps have since been removed. I wonder if there's going to be a wrapped Tropicana car on the Orange line, which would seem more fitting. Now if only these cars could melt the snow that's coming (skilling says 4-7") we'd really have something to be happy about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the State/Lake elevated station is decked in Tropicana ads, mainly the turnstiles. Plus I think 1388 from North Park is wrapped for Tropicana if I'm not mistaken. I think there may be one or more buses from that garage also wrapped but I'm not sure of their fleet numbers. Speaking of the Brown Line, if I'm not mistaken the Western Station for that line is also decked in Tropicana ads, again mainly in the form of the turnstiles being wrapped.

Sedgwick is also full of Tropicana turnstiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneking7320 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm curious, has Tropicana hit Metra yet? I believe they have wrapped SEPTA regional railcars in Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm curious, has Tropicana hit Metra yet? I believe they have wrapped SEPTA regional railcars in Philly. Metra has wrapped a few cars. I saw one the other day wrapped in blue on the UP NW line for some bank. Then there's a supercuts one floating around and a presidential one that was wrapped last year. Just google Metra train wraps and click on pictures and you will see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Metra has wrapped a few cars. I saw one the other day wrapped in blue on the UP NW line for some bank. The wrap on Metra is for BMO Harris Bank. And I saw C's 1045 wrapped in a Tropicana ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 There's a few buses floating around with Tropicana wraps. Spotted #1388 the other day, unlike the trains the interior is not wrapped. Also there seems to be a few new Tropicana wraps on the Brown line. (#3455-56 and #3309-10) before I think it was #3453-54 and #3323-24 but those are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 If I'm not mistaken, almost all the stations on the Loop Elevated have the Tropicana turnstiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
