It makes sense that the Blue Line Yards don't have room but one would think Midway Would Have the room. I'm guessing these cars aren't work cars which would be the only reason there should be 2600s in 98th Yard. Or Midway may also be short on space… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus1883 Posted Monday at 07:47 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:47 AM On 8/12/2024 at 10:03 PM, Erin Mishkin Jr. said: The only trains that came off the blue line last year or early this year that are in active service on the Orange Line are 2843 and 2844. Most of the cars (2777-2778, 3045-3046, 2651-2652, just to name a few) have not been used and some of those cars have been vandalized and were sitting like that for months. 3045 is the one graffitied at the front displaying 54th/Cermak signs. 2777-78, 2651-52 & 3003-04 minus 3045-46 all are still wrapped and all also are still sitting in the same spot as of today since they first went there. Those appear to be done… 3077-78 is still OOS at Rosemont as well as the rest of the 2600s in Ashland and 98th yards. I finally got a few more numbers in the 98th yard, the cars are 2805-06 & 3021-22 looks like those might be sent to Skokie. A few recent ex blue line cars that were sent to the Orange Line not too long ago have been running lately minus the ones that sat for months dating back to March.
