#1898 is fully rehabbed while idled by the fence and they removed the www. decals.

[BusHunter]

#1604 has shown up on the #29. It's not rehabbed at all I just checked it.

[BusHunter]

On a happier note, here is a shot of #2010, I finally caught up with this one.

[BusHunter]

#1994 is on the #72. (just released from South shops)

#1801 and #1017 are both on the #29 (both need confirmation)

#1415 showed up on #74 (might be worth checking out)

[garmon757]

#1265, #1406, #1739, and #1870 will be in the process of rehabbing. I don't know why rehabbed #1137 is back at the shop!

[BusHunter]

#1994 is rehabbed on the #72. I got a shot of it. It has a transmission problem though. Really slow takeoff and it probably needs to go back to the shop.

[BusHunter]

My gamble paid off, #1415 is rehabbed on the #74.

[garmon757]

Wow! That shouldn't be any excuse for it to have that kind of problem.

[Busjack]

Wow! That shouldn't be any excuse for it to have that kind of problem.

Or maybe it wasn't rehabbed as the transmission is supposed to be part of the job.

[BusHunter]

Probably a faulty part or trans leak

[BusHunter]

#1060 is on the #2 coming my way. Just released from the shop. It's not rehabbed at all. We can also take #1017 off the list. It's not rehabbed either.

[garmon757]

Or maybe it wasn't rehabbed as the transmission is supposed to be part of the job.

Hey that might only be the possible reason.

[BusHunter]

Rehabs from today:

[garmon757]

#1731 is rehabbed on #75 but it's malfunction is really weird.

[Brandon93]

1837 is rehabbed on 106.

[Busjack]

#1751 is rehabbed on #75 but it's malfunction is really weird.

Sign is apparently showing the default.* One would have to go back to Andre's post on the numerous things that could have been screwed up.

________

*Horizon being the model of the sign, and appaently 16 x 160 is the dot pitch.

Makes sense to me but it's a rare sighting of that for me.

[ajm522]

Sorry if this was reported but 1197 has a mechanical rehab

[jajuan]

You were lucky in the sense that a NF on the 75 is a rare sighting in and of itself on weekday. It's one of those routes that 74th Garage operates with almost all 6400s during weekdays.

Indeed. #75 have about 2-3 in the late afternoon and about 3-4 during the late evenings. #44 and #94 would have to be lucky at a roulette table to have at least 2-3 of them at a time! :lol:

That makes 13 buses down for rehabs from 74th counting the buses BusHunter tallied from other reports of buses seen at South Shops. No wonder that garage has been borrowing buses and actually ran a Nova on the N9 overnight last night for the first time in a few years.

Agreed and the fact the 74th's 1700s are being very consistent of getting rehabbed as of lately. It also made sense why there were some Kedzie's 1600s were helping out. Here's a million dollar question though; which garage is going to help out 103rd when it's 1800s consistently getting rehabbed???

I would say 74th but they're obviously short so my next guess would be 77th or FG.

Artics from 77th will take care of that. Thinking of what Andre said it sounds like NP might be shifting artics not gaining them as I don't see where they would have the space at the garage for too much expansion. (Maybe after they get the Foster bank land setup)

It's a real possibility 103rd might get most to all of those artics from 77th how else would they be able to equip artics on #26 and a few for #28 loop trips. That being said, 103rd may in turn lose the lowest #1000's and just be #1500's and #1800's. 74th is most likely going to get the overflow of NF's from 77th. I think that's becoming more apparent as they keep borrowing from Kedzie.
