Given recent updates with 7000s assignments on the blue line reaching the 200 mark and the line currently having approximately 220 3200s in service. Is it accurate to say the 2600s will be off the line by the summer? I’m estimating the number of 3200s on the blue line based off of me frequently riding the brown line. This would be a significant milestone for the blue line after 40 years of 2600s. When the 2600s retirements do come and they do the farewell trains I wonder which lines are going to get picked for the farewell tour. 

202 7000’s are on the blue currently, only about 34-36 2600’s remain on the blue, 7201-7202 went into service couple days ago

I’m peeking as well. 2781-82 and 3077-78 were LTH in Rosemont since last year. Those are gone off blue as well.

I'm extremely late, but these forums are delayed enough. There are 3 eight car 2600's sitting ontop of 61st waiting to be salvaged and then scrapped. Only units I know are 2819-20, and 2993-94. All blue line.
