It probably sat there for a few hours then they put it back on the send home lane by Sunday evening, I think they brought it to the boneyard for a few hours since they probably were moving buses out. It was confusing but clearly by Monday it was back in the send home lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever bus you thought you saw wasn't #1787. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokemonprime Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 It was still at South Shops when I was there on the 6th. Though it was parked in such a way I couldnt see if it had a LTH sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it’s coming back? #1970 was at SS for mechanical maintenance but I'm not sure how long that will take, it might be getting prepped for retirement similar to #1966,79 and #2000.

Before the rust issue became severe, your garage have beat the 💩out of the option 3 New Flyers while y’all still have many artics defunct down south.

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted Sunday at 10:59 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 10:59 AM Looks like they stopped adding buses to the Forest Glen yard I went by it Friday and it looks like they didn’t add anything since the end of May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send it back down to 77th where it belongs along with #1585. CTA won't have any funding for new equipment until after they give the #1000s and #7900s there overhauls.
