7900-series Nova LFS - Updates


South Shop 7

Recommended Posts

7906,7931 added at 77th 9/12, 7962,7963 added 9/15. 801 to storage 9/15. Looks like 800's going to be retired at first failure along with remaining 900's.

Too bad, I liked all those short 40 foot hybrids. So i wonder if this means #805 is still alive?

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.

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. :P

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

A few shots of new #7900's; #7914, #7955 and #7963

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.

Here you go, what is that on the rear destination, it looks like eyes LOL Halloween's next month.

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?
