BusHunter Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Posted July 8, 2014 #1563 on the #62 has rehabbed seats, clever devices, and the access panel is in the front wheelwell so looks like another bus like #1455. The exterior has not been touched and there's no rear exterior number decals so it could use some tlc. Quote
garmon757 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 #1563 on the #62 has rehabbed seats, clever devices, and the access panel is in the front wheelwell so looks like another bus like #1455. The exterior has not been touched and there's no rear exterior number decals so it could use some tlc. Forgot to mention that I spotted rehabbed #1554 on #67 earlier. So that leaves with #1578 and #1581 remaining to be rehabbed on behalf of 74th's 1500s. Quote
BusHunter Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Posted July 8, 2014 #1229 is rehabbed on the #52A. Yes I am on #7904 on the #52A. Pictures and maybe video tonight. #1059 is rehabbed going south on the #52A too. Quote
BusHunter Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Posted July 9, 2014 #1360 is rehabbed on the #82. #1782 is back from south shops but it's not rehabbed so it needs to come off the list. #1385 is also back from south shops on the #155 and it is rehabbed. #1753's rehabbed on the #49, but #1148 is not rehabbed took a picture anyway maybe i'll upload it tonight.

Interesting because #1378 is also rehabbed in which that was one of a few that had a red dot sticker on the windshield. Red dot stickers might be a huge clue of busses in process for rehabs. Quote
BusHunter Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Posted July 10, 2014 Where are these stickers? I have yet to see any. Uh oh dead nova harlem and belmont #6765. Quote
garmon757 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 Where are these stickers? I have yet to see any. Uh oh dead nova harlem and belmont #6765.That's because you would have to go to the Shop Shop to see the stickers on the windshields. Quote
ajm522 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 Well... most of 77th NF have the stickers, they are located above garage sticker. Weird thing is that 77th has mostly white stickers (haven't seen any other colors). Quote

jajuan Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 Pictures of #1148 cta 1148 side.png cta 1148 rear.png From your photos, there are no exterior clues that suggest possible rehab and thus lead you to pay more attention to it and spot the other cues that point a rehab. Quote
garmon757 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 #1034 and #1394 are rehabbed while idled at the South Shop. Some shots of #1417 with the yellow dot sticker and #1936 with the red one. Also, #152X and #1581 are being rehabbed inside. Red: #1936 Yellow: #1190 #1417 #1801 #1880 (with white sticker) Green: #1164 #1498 Questionable of being rehabbed: #1477 #1981 #1982 Update: #1088 is mechanically rehabbed on #8A. Quote
ajm522 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 Red must mean it is not fit for service right now because 1936 has been out for awhile. 1936 has had trouble in the past where it has sat out for weeks. I wonder if green means that its good to go and ready or maybe its next. Quote

I wonder if green means that its good to go and ready or maybe its next. It would make a lot of sense after I've witnessed others with the red sticker and most if them were rehabbed. Quote
BusHunter Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Posted July 10, 2014 #1554 is rehabbed on the #63. Quote
garmon757 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 #1554 is rehabbed on the #63. Hey, I already mentioned that 2 days ago! Quote
BusHunter Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 Hey, I already mentioned that 2 days ago! you did where? Quote
garmon757 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 you did where? Forgot to mention that I spotted rehabbed #1554 on #67 earlier. So that leaves with #1578 and #1581 remaining to be rehabbed on behalf of 74th's 1500s. Post #833 Quote
BusHunter Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 Post #833 So then is #1560 mechanically rehabbed? Quote
garmon757 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 So then is #1560 mechanically rehabbed? I've sworn that it was now fully rehabbed but I would have to double check it if it's going back west on #47. Update: It's going back west to Midway Orange Line. So therefore, my best shot of sighting it would be @ 47th Red Line before 10:30 pm. Quote
BusHunter Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 Here's a few pictures of recent rehabs I came across #1579 at Midway that had a sign that fell off the bus!! The control center told him to put it in the CTA bathroom at Midway. And I checked on #1520 it's not rehabbed but it has something no other bus has so far. A red kneeling sticker in the front and a blue one in the rear. Crazy huh!! 1 Quote

BusHunter Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 I've missed it by 5 minutes damn....... I saw it the other day and it wasn't rehabbed, but I can't say if it's another #1563. Someone needs to ride it to confirm that. Quote

I'm just pointing out that's it's back. I know it's not rehabbed. Quote
