garmon757 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 On that part about the rear wheel odometer, that's probably very likely just a useless painted over black tab. I've seen a few artics out of the 4000 series and a few other NF 40 footers with that same thing and in each case that's all it was. At least one artic has just the outer metal rim while the odometer itself has been removed. So on that bus you got a useless empty circle attached to the wheel. I don't know man. I looks like it was an actual odometer with the white dials inside of it showing the mileage. I double check it if they didn't release #1903 back to NP. Quote
BusHunter Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Posted September 10, 2014 Some pictures I took of recent rehabs. The #2001 is the clearest shot I have made with my cameraphone. I can read the no turn plate. Damn I can't believe it this app takes better pictures than my factory installed app. I'm just going to have to remember to try and take video of stationary objects for best results. 1 Quote

BusHunter Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Posted September 10, 2014 #1739 and #1776 have popped up from south shops on the #49. #1609 is also on the #29. Quote
BusHunter Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Posted September 10, 2014 #1776 is not rehabbed. Quote
TripleTransit1 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 #1776 is not rehabbed. I was about to say because I actually rode that bus. It only had the new Clever Devices screen and the new "this bus kneels" arrow decal at the rear door. Quote

It had the new Clever Devices screen and only the new "this bus kneels" arrow decal at the rear door. I just rode #1776 so for sure it's not rehabbed but #1609 is. Now to get a shot of it. Quote
BusHunter Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 #1739 is rehabbed on the #49. Quote

TripleTransit1 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 WTF???? Come to think of it...take away the arrow decal, and replace the engine, then #1776 would be #1125's twin (save the lighting). Quote
jajuan Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 WTF???? Sorry Garmon. I live in NP country and have seen and ridden 1776 as well. I can vouch for their reports that it's not rehabbed yet. Quote
BusHunter Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 Damn maybe I should have took a picture of it!! Quote

I can vouch for their reports that it's not rehabbed yet.It's all good. Strange enough that none of them in the 1770s aren't rehabbed yet. I think that applies to the ones in the 1710s also. Quote
garmon757 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Damn maybe I should have took a picture of it!!I'm gonna "hunt" you down if you don't add mechanically rehabbed #1303 on the list!!! :lol: Quote
BusHunter Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 I'm gonna "hunt" you down if you don't add mechanically rehabbed #1303 on the list!!! Uh Oh now I'm scared. LOL!! In all honesty, I got this bus confused with #1309 and thought it was already on the list and ignored you!! Quote

garmon757 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 I forget to mention yesterday that #1129 is fully rehabbed. Quote
Brandon93 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 1016 is rehabbed on the 119. Quote
garmon757 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 There's been some issues with the destination signs especially with some 74th's 1700s after getting rehabbed. The saga doesn't end on behalf of #1731. :huh: Quote

The saga doesn't end on behalf of #1731. Congrats, garmon... you just seen the super secret route #703 Fletcher to Atwater route the CTA is testing out of 74th. It starts at point "A" at Fletcher and runs to Atwater. 2 Quote

It starts at point "A" at Fletcher and runs to Atwater. You know that's the run number right??? Technically the whole display was 6703 (6 is hard to see) ATWATER-FLETCHER. Quote
Busjack Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 You know that's the run number right??? Technically the whole display was 6703 (6 is hard to see) ATWATER-FLETCHER. Apparently in Los Angeles. I thought there might be something to the left of the 703, and there isn't an LACMTA route 703,* but I can't figure out where CTA got that reading. __________ *The closest match seems to be route 603.

This is about to be interesting to figure out. Quote
