If so, it might indicate a possible move to the Orange Line but the cars might be needed this weekend for additional Blue Line services Quote

Rarer and rarer to see a full consist on the Blue, but thankfully running smooth on the Orange, assuming they aren't bombed with graffiti.. Quote

Just saw 2911 and 2626 the other day. If it wasn’t for the 7000s order being delayed these cars would all be off the line by now with more being shipped for scrap. There are cars still at midway that hasn’t been touched since 2024 and some over on the east branch on the green line rotting. Get rid of these cars!!!!!! Quote

There are retired 2600s sitting on the east end of the yard graffitied chocked 2 years later Quote
