I wasn't able to spot 4137 in there, but I have absolutely zero idea if 4189 is still on SS property or went to 103rd already. 4105 still sits in the boneyard with 4173 visible thru Perry. Quote

Elkmn Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 4013 is on the 126 right now! I have never seen an artic on the 126 before. Quote
Elkmn Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Seems like K takes better care of their artics (or they're less worn down), cause this bus sounded great going over the expressway on van buren! Quote

Every now and then they have operated one or 2 artics on the 126 and the 7 during rush hours even as far back when they had the 7500 Series Artics. Quote

Yeah anytime K had any extra artics 7, 52 or 126 usually got them. I think an artic on 7 was interline with 62/143. 3 hours ago, Elkmn said: Seems like K takes better care of their artics (or they're less worn down), cause this bus sounded great going over the expressway on van buren! Well outside of 151 and 156, all of K's other artic routes either used them peak periods only or used weekends only (12, 82) so probably half the fleet is probably the resting if it's not rush hour. #6 and J14 don't pull in as many off peak compared to K. NP has it's pull-ins but a fair share of them interline and stay out midday compared to K. Quote

That bus was recently at SS receiving maintenance. Not to downplay Kedzie maintenance but that was all SS. Quote

Ok that makes a lot of sense now. It was in stellar shape, especially compared to the beat-up NP artics that I'm used to. 1 Quote

I only know of 4192 being on the south fence as it's on my south fence post. The others you have to ask someone who knows more about what's going on with those buses, especially if 4192 is ever going to return. Quote
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 4045 is in the boneyard without a bike rack, that bus can not handle the pressure at 103rd. 4017 has since returned to service after ending up in the boneyard. 4094 is in service with a broken tracker. Quote

I was referring to the electrification plan that 200 60' BEBs were supposed to be the next purchase, but nobody now knows when that will be possible. 1 Quote
