BusHunter Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Too bad, I liked all those short 40 foot hybrids. So i wonder if this means #805 is still alive? Quote

Yes that does suck that they're just giving up on the 800s now at the slightest failure especially when the 4000s, 4300s and parallel drive hybrids in other cities prove getting parts wouldn't be as much a challenge as doing so for the 900s.

YoungBusLover Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 #800 and #809 were out this past weekend when I went downtown, except it looked like they were used as training buses. Quote
jajuan Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 #800 and #809 were out this past weekend when I went downtown, except it looked like they were used as training buses. How does this relate to 7900s? Quote
MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 How does this relate to 7900s? Maybe it's the wrong thread, he's responding to the mention of 800s above, or the CTA has new technology that makes the 800s look like the 7900s along with that shiny new nuclear charging station at Kedzie Garage.

Oh I know. I just couldn't resist making the tease in good fun. Quote

jajuan Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 A few shots of new #7900's; #7914, #7955 and #7963 cta 7914 on 2.PNG cta 7955 on 2.PNG cta 7963 on 1.PNG Good shots. You and Garmon seemed to have got an impromptu team setup developing. He's gotten shots of newer 7900s soon after they've been first delivered and you've gotten shots in some of their earliest service as revenue buses. 3 Quote

Busjack Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Here you go, what is that on the rear destination, it looks like eyes LOL Halloween's next month. cta 7960 on 8.PNG While all but a couple of pixels are lighted, it could be anything. However, this seems to be a throwback to the 4400s where the signs were stuck on all green or had an all green flash between cycles. Were the other signs screwed up? Quote
