garmon757 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Alright, #1672 and #2028 should be fully rehabbed while awaiting to be release at the shop. #1220 still might be mechanically rehabbed but #1569 is now fully rehabbed after spotting it on #24 after I came from the bank near home. #1482 is awaiting tail light upgrades in which I've thought it was done from rehabbing. Maybe it went through an intervention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) #1929's rehabbed on the #7 and it looks like #1040 is now fully rehabbed on the #62. Edited August 10, 2015 by BusHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Yeah #1040 is rehabbed #1309 is rehabbed too. Both #1065 and #1040 have no exterior upgrades and no new paint job I think these latest rehabs are being done at the garages versus south shops.We can add #1656, it's a full rehab too and I might have saw #1849 as a full rehab but I need to recheck it.

BusHunter Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Here's some shots of rehabbed buses. i wonder why they are suddenly going gangbusters on the mechanical rehab buses. Could rahm be scheduling a press conference for the first day back to school. "we got all new buses for the school kids" They could probably finish those off in a month, but they need to go to the paint shop.#1929:#1065:#1040: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garmon757 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 #1658 is ready to be released from the shop. #1290 and #1367 must've went through maintenance but should be released today also. #1385 is inside the shop for an undisclosed reason and #1990 has made its 3rd trip to the shop (inside) getting updated with something while being raised up. #1711 is undergoing repairs (photo below) from whatever accident it was involved in. #1534 is finally inside the shop while possibly getting rehabbed. #1102 is now fully rehabbed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could rahm be scheduling a press conference for the first day back to school. "we got all new buses for the school kids" They could probably finish those off in a month, but they need to go to the paint shop....There's language from the Nova press release that would support your conclusion: "Since 2011, the CTA has acquired an almost entirely new bus fleet, providing customers with safe, reliable and more comfortable transportation. This includes 400 new buses purchased by CTA, excluding the 125 new buses announced today, and the nearly completed overhaul of more than 1,000 buses to make them like new and extend their lifespans."

BusHunter Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 #2028 is rehabbed on the #54#1656 was repainted before so it passes inspection with all new decals. #1264 on the other hand, which was wrapped needs the whole exterior redone.

BusHunter Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 We can add #1663 to the rehabbed bus list. It was rehabbed on the #82. #1438 is still mechanically rehabbed though. It's the only mechanical rehabbed bus I've seen this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) #1672 has been released on the #12 and #1658 has been released on the #72, so NP, C, K, and 7 are down to one bus each that is totally unrehabbed.

I was wondering if it would keep that or not. Here are some pictures of it and #1663, which doesn't need a paint job and looks pretty good. #1658:#1663: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Here are some more rehabbed buses out of 74th. #1584 and #1039 but they need the exterior redone. They are down to 4 left, they all seem to be in service too. 74th might be the first garage to have it's #1000's all rehabbed, but they could still use a paint job on these recent ones. I also uploaded a shot of #1672, which was rehabbed on the #7. #1584:#1039:#1672: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmon757 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Just rode #1166 on #71 while heading home and it's fully rehabbed. It's just missing the updated no right turn plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
