CTA won't have any funding for new equipment until after they give the #1000s and #7900s there overhauls. Yes it is. As far as the 7900s at 77th. The buses at night are starting to look like the eldest 4000s as the interior lighting is pretty much giving a purple hue on some units. Almost thought they changed them for a sec.

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 As of right now are there new July retirements so far? I'm still curious whether 1159 or 1218 are returning or not because they are in a space where everything else there is retired. Missing from Forest Glen: 1735 (last run 7/8) Missing from North Park (Not Mentioned): 1855 (7/15 last run) - back in service Missing from Kedzie: 1678/1721 back in service, 1843 (last run 7/5), 1979 (last run in June, is this at SS?) Missing from Chicago: 1912 (last run 7/14), 1964 (last run 7/3), 1968 (last run 7/9), 1970 (is this returning?) #1034 was also involved in an accident yesterday at Diversey & Narragansett, appears the driver might have took the turn too fast and the bus went into the fence and striking a pole at the Wendy's right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
