chgofan78 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 #3279-3280 are fully rehabbed on the Orange Line. Also, it seems like they are starting back to consolidate the 3200s on the Orange Line within a specific range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrethebusman Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 as of 8/1/18 3351 and 3448 are assigned brown instead of long term hold. Mates 3352 and 3447 still LTH. Are 3351 and 3448 running as a mixed pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look up rodeo pictures from 2013 I believe. #3352 has a lot of damage. I'm surprised #3351 is running. What happened to #3447-48? Now you got me interested. I gotta see this. Whatever happened to #3457-58? Could #3457 be paired to something else like #3435 or #3436? I can't see it running in rehab condition unless #3458 gets digital signs.

BusHunter Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I added a whole bunch of rehabbed 3200s to the list. They should only have 16 cars to rehab 17 if you count 3457. Didn't see #3457-58 or #3352-#3447. They got to be at Skokie shops. I don't see any non rehabbed 3200s in service anymore. 16 cars can fit at Skokie shops. I guess the timing is right for the great 3200 division to happen. All the lines should be equal now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm so what happened to #3352?? That may have been the last set of rehabbed 3200s unless the other 8 are unaccounted for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitowndude84 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Just to report, Yesterday, While on the blue towards O'hare I noticed 2 sets of 3200's at the Blue line Rosemont yard. Sadly I caught them last minute and didn't catch the complete fleet #'s But they were 100% 3200's !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely 5000s on the Racine trips on the posted Sept. 16 schedule, but @garmon757 said there would have to be training on the 3200s. I don't know why the 5000s would be different; maybe 54/Cermak operators are already qualified, but what about the switchmen and such on the Blue Line?

Just curious why would switchmen need to be involved? The way the 5000s communicate with the system compared to others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view is that the 3200s are similar enough to the 2600s so why the big deal, but he works there and I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, only 3457 will be rehabbed and 3458(ex-3032) will ultimately be unmated and retired sometime down the line. Will 3457 be a loaner spare? Both 3457 and 3458 are rehabbed. 3457 only has led lighting in the car. Both cars got the digital destination signs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Finally CTA has assigned 3200s to the Blue Line. They should assign 5000s. alongside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, 5000s are doing AM Peak Racine to Jeff Pk runs (loans from Pink Line), 3200s are servicing the whole line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chgofan78 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Besides a few LED run number boxes still needing to be installed, is it safe to say the rehab work is complete on the 3200s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone may have suggested this before, but perhaps they should take the 3200 Series rail cars off the Brown Line & transfer them as well to the Blue Line.
