Almost all of these are either at SS receiving maintenance at this time. The rest are either active with broken trackers such as 2007 or receiving maintenance at there home garages.

It look like it was 1228 because I seen a missing front unless 1125 is the same way

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

2007 is actually retired at FG

New Retirements: 2007, 1748, and 1638.

Along with those mentioned above, these four have left Vincennes Ave and arrived at FG: 1823, 1692, 1828, and 1696.

 

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

1776 is officially retired.

That is correct. 1879 went to SS on February 10 though.

Whats the number of the NF that was badly wreaked when it was still pretty new and then heavily repaired a few years later during the 1000 series overhaul it was 14-- I think? Wonder is that bus is still running

That was 1482. Remarkably, it is still active at 74th, having run yesterday afternoon and evening.

1482 runs nearly every day and runs good. It once had a number chalked on there up front on the inside as you see on the second picture it’s still there but they recently added new stickers I got a comparison. Must’ve got the new inside number when they changed out the drivers shield

You’re right with 1655 as I just saw it it’s got its farebox still there it so far appears to be a return possibility.

2002 is officially retired now that I see it it’s LTH and the mirrors were taken off yeah now I see that’s done.

here’s the aftermath photos of 1125 as now it’s sitting towards Vincennes.

Comparison of 1228 above

1806 is now at SS, appears to have broke down on the 50 on Friday and it was just dropped off at SS.

1465 is at SS along with 1473, 1096 and 1104 awaiting repairs.

Ah ok at least that’s a good sign for that bus.

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

1116 is now in active service with Kedzie.

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

1481’s bus tracker has finally been repaired.

[YoungBusLover]

Updated the retirements and there was a big jump with 3rd/4th options biting the dust with more #8350s entering service. So far I have a headcount of 291 which leaves the fleet at 740 left active. Now baring maintenance of a few the number should reach 300+ by early summer.
