1000-series D40LF - Updates & Retirements

Sorry for the delay of my roster. I don't have my laptop due to it getting repaired (it's been two weeks now) making it very difficult and I had to use my kids mother's Galaxy S 4 to update the roster.

Not understanding what's up with 1553. You have it as retired....

Not trying to be a spokesperson.... but the Galaxy S4 is a good smartphone... ^_^

#1553 was still in the boneyard the last time I checked a few weeks back, it was sitting next to some retired 6400's from the past.

Same question.... why? Was it wrecked that badly that it can't be salvaged(I don't recall a bad accident involving a New Flyer D40LF except for 1482, whose fate remains shrouded in uncertainty). I don't believe it caught fire and is wrecked from that, as there were no reports of fires with these buses.

Roster still shows it at 74th.

I really don't have a clear understanding why besides seeing yellow tape on the front door but it's been sitting by retired #4323 and the 900s for quite a while. So I decided to rule it as retired. Remember when I ruled #1305 as retired but it wasn't believable until some of it's windows got stripped?

Sounds like #1553 is being held for a court case with the yellow tape on it.

Rehabbed: #1062 (#1345 while on #79) #1404 #1607

Getting rehabbed: #1611 and 9 unknown inside the shop

Awaiting for rehab: #1410 #1507 #1751 #1877

Questionable for rehab preparation or out of service: #1659 #1869 (speaking of the devil BusHunter!) #1908 #1914 #1938 (officially 74th's) #2004

Other notes: #1961 has been upgraded from fluorescent lighting to LED lighting but it's not rehabbed.

Was there a "6" on 1938 windshield? I find it funny that it left 77th just to basically return to rehab it.. They should of waited until it was rehabbed to send it out.

That still proves nothing since as I recall you were ready to speculate that 805 was being pulled because it was parked in a boneyard spot, I remember mentioning at the time that the ongoing NF rehabs and deliveries of 7900s only leaves so much space to park buses down there and some might get parked temporarily in a spot normally signaling retirement. And sure enough just a few days later 805 was back at Kedzie and in action quite a bit since. :P:lol:

Until proven otherwise, that sounds plausible.
