Busjack Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Saw 6971 coming into Chicago to take up a 755 journey this afternoon.Checked bustracker and 6965 was also on 755 and 6967 on 851.The unanswered question at this point is if they are for expansion, or to replace 6900-7. 6902 and 6904 are still out there. Highest number on Webwatch is 6971, which you saw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetroShadow Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) 6900-07 are still on the board at Heritage. 6965-71 are there (I think 6964 hasn't shown up yet) Edited July 22, 2015 by MetroShadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That garage wasn't that big to begin with, with some buses in the alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetroShadow Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Where in the bleep are they keeping them? That garage wasn't that big to begin with, with some buses in the alley.A slow retirement of the OTR coaches, or spares. There's a need to address overcrowding (still), over the next year. The newer buses would replace the more faded ones, but those that still work will still be in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure about 12402 though. 5 years later, the picture in the quote above shows that the bus doesn't have a rear door, and hence is externally similar to 6377-6391 and 6485-6509, and hence OTR, but not motor coach.
