[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

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 286 which leaves the fleet at 743 left active. Now baring maintenance of a few the number should reach 300+ by early summer.

You missed 1427, that one was wrecked in July and sits in between 1331 and 1854 on the Perry st side

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

Fresh Retirements: 1796, 1893, and 1699.

Last week along with 1776’s arrival, 1812 has entered this lot. 1796, 1893, and 1699 entered this week or last weekend.

Also what else was missed was #1272 which is on LTH so basically retired.

I also noticed that 1642 is missing from the list, 1642 was retired in 2023 and for whoever works on Buswatch, add 1642 as retired as it says it's not retired on the list.

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.

Yeah I ride or spot 1482 fairly often on the 9 and X9. On the retirement front, it's no surprise that so many of the buses pulled from the active roster were former buses of K, C and NP given the latest rounds of deliveries of 8350s from late summer last up to now were focused mainly on the those three. C once again was a higher focus than K, and NP is of course the most recent garage on the list to start getting 8350s officially assigned new. 

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

1954 is back in service today so it's safe to say that bus is still active. Buswatch didn't add 1272, 1427, 1699, 1796, or 1893 on the retirement list yet.

1272 is on LTH, not retired.

Right, it’s been more than a year when it went on LTH and stayed in the same spot for over a year. I was wondering if they ever plan on fixing it due to where it’s sitting at with all the other retired or LTH buses.

[Mr.NewFlyer1279]

1517 has returned to service on the 63 after being out for 2 years. 

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

As of right now nothing new has popped up at FG.

1653 and 1636 are sitting outside the garage facing elston as of right now.

To eliminate those 4 buses (not 1272) off the active list and to get them retired and crossed out.

 

1806 was at SS a few weeks ago but is back in service.

as of right now here’s what’s status unknown

1761 at NP - last ran 2/14

1898 last ran January

1752 and 1683 were OOS for at least a week (Kedzie)

Chicago sent 1929 to SS last week with no return.

1856 has been moved to FG and has a lot of liquid underneath it.

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

1898 south fence parts being stripped out

1752 might be repaired but not sure it’s got its farebox inside it.

1807 is now in the boneyard

I finally saw 1495 which was off the bus tracker since May of 2024

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

1495 is back on the tracker.

1807 boneyard like mentioned above I don’t know if that’s returning bc last time I was there it was fresh into the boneyard

1968 - back in service

2019 OOS since 2/26

the bus watch guy seems to be MIA as he hasn’t added the retirements from last month in yet.

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

Here is the current roster for buses between 1630 and 2025 that are still active, I'm not including anything I mentioned above not bolded with back in service for an accurate count.

Forest Glen: 1630, 1631, 1632, 1633, 1641, 1653, 1655, 1657, 1660, 1663, 1735 (11)

 

Kedzie: 1673, 1676, 1677, 1678, 1683, 1688, 1691, 1701, 1714, 1715, 1721, 1722, 1724, 1726, 1727, 1734, 1736, 1743, 1750, 1755, 1758, 1760, 1783, 1803, 1809, 1835, 1843, 1846, 1874, 1875, and 1895 (31)

 

North Park: 1718, 1719, 1720, 1725, 1744, 1762, 1764, 1767, 1768, 1769, 1777, 1780, 1787, 1788, 1789, 1793, 1795, 1798, 1801, 1804, 1806, 1818, 1822, 1826, 1830, 1832, 1838, 1839, 1853, 1855, 1860, 1862, 1863, 1865, 1867, 1872, 1873, 1878, 1879, 1880, 1881, 1891, 1932 (43)

 

Chicago: 1900, 1902, 1904, 1906, 1909, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1929, 1941, 1950, 1954, 1956, 1957, 1962, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1975, 1979, 1980, 1982, 2000, 2001, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2020, 2024, 2025 (37)

In total, there are 122 units left, which is only about 30% of this range still active. I'd imagine most of these will be out of service by the end of the year, with about 25 or so being active by January of 2026.
