NewFlyerMCI Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 #1299 has been released from shops on 53A, needs checking Quote
garmon757 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 That was a long ride from 55th to Milwaukee. I didn't even figure out the bus was a new rehab until I got to 35th. The empty ad racks though tipped me off. I just missed a new nova turning east from Western on to 55th. Maybe the new buses were taking a joy ride!! (that doesn't seem like a pullin location, unless it was coming from the west end of 47th, but I think those pull in at Ashland, #48's also pull in from 95th)It's very common to see empty ad racks on some them that are rehabbed unless Glen Lerner had something to do with that! :p Quote
NewFlyerMCI Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 1886 should be rehabbed, on 20, also a move (74th -> Kedzie) Quote
Guest Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Anyone know what garage NF #1434 is assigned at? I have a picture of my dad standing with CTA GMC #1434 in 1973 at the former Fullerton/Parkside turnaround. Im hoping to get a picture of it so I can post it here! Quote

I have a picture of my dad standing with CTA GMC #1434 in 1973 at the former Fullerton/Parkside turnaround. Last reported at Chicago, however may be at Kedzie - or south shops (1433/5/7-41/3-7 have all moved from C to K in Feb-15). Quote

Busjack Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Since the question of particulate filters has come up, can anyone make heads or tails of this ordinance authorizing a contract with Cummins NPower for particulate filters needed to overhaul 1000-1429 series buses? Is it that they have rehabbed the buses, but the particulate filters then installed are inadequate and need to be replaced? Quote

Is it that they have rehabbed the buses, but the particulate filters then installed are inadequate and need to be replaced? I don't know, but they also note that the filters need to be cleaned every 1,000 hours or they are no longer effective. Now the question is, Is CTA cleaning those every 6 1/2 weeks? They sure weren't cleaning the #7500's. Seems to me this was the same contract as before but maybe the rebuilders weren't legally bound to make such repairs. Does it actually say that they are replacing filters in the originally ordinance? Quote

Seems to me this was the same contract as before but maybe the rebuilders weren't legally bound to make such repairs. Does it actually say that they are replacing filters in the originally ordinance? It probably is running time, so maybe 20 weeks. But as I indicated above, I couldn't figure this one out. Quote
BusHunter Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Posted February 26, 2015 Is buses idling at the garage considered running time? Quote
Busjack Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Is buses idling at the garage considered running time? Who knows, but I doubt that it is all buses 24/7. Certainly not the vast majority in this series, which are in indoor garages. Quote
BusHunter Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Posted February 27, 2015 1971 is released and is now a Chicago bus... And here it is on the #53. #1971: Quote
BusHunter Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Posted February 27, 2015 Is #1335 rehabbed Yes, but I've been wondering about #1338. Quote
BusMaster Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Yes, but I've been wondering about #1338. I'm not sure on #1338 being rehabbed Quote
garmon757 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Just spotted #1933 on #74 by my job and it's mechanically rehabbed for some odd reason. Quote
