busfan2847 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Actually 1017 might have been at Kedzie after the last recent swapocalypse. They did get quite a number of lower 1000s along with 1800s that were former 103rd buses. No 1017 had not already moved to K. Quote
jajuan Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 No 1017 had not already moved to K. Ah okay thanks. There's been so many moves in prior weeks, I thought it might have been possible that it had already moved. Quote
BusHunter Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Posted March 15, 2015 OK Garmon. I finally caught up with #1197 on the #49 and it's still mechanically rehabbed. Quote
garmon757 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 OK Garmon. I finally caught up with #1197 on the #49 and it's still mechanically rehabbed.Thanks. I thought they've updated the lights but that's alright. No biggie! :) Quote
BusHunter Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Posted March 15, 2015 #1017 is rehabbed out here on the #82. Quote
NewFlyerMCI Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 #1017 is rehabbed out here on the #82. Is this a full rehab or partial? I'm assuming full since its been out for several days now. Quote
BusHunter Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 Is this a full rehab or partial? I'm assuming full since its been out for several days now. Full rehab. #1017: Quote
Brandon93 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 At this point, nothing is from the "get go." 103rd was at least the third assignment. Exactly because 1017 was at Archer when the 1000's were delivered then they went to Chicago then the 1000-31 came to 103rd. Quote
BusHunter Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 #1706 is released from south shops on the #49B Quote
BusMaster Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 #1706 on #49B I'm surprised they didn't send it back to kedzie Quote
jajuan Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 #1706 on #49B I'm surprised they didn't send it back to kedzie Well none of the NF moves were temporary it seems in the recent swapocalypse. Only the 6400s. So 1706 would not have come back to Kedzie. As a matter of fact, former Kedzie buses that are now at NP have or are about to get 'P' stickers. And if you look further, former 103rd buses now at Kedzie have undergone rehabs and remained at Kedzie as further evidence that NFs in the recent big swap are staying where they are currently for the time being.

BusHunter Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 #1569 is still mechanically rehabbed at halsted orange line on the #8 Quote
garmon757 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Posted March 19, 2015 The NF 1000s page has been updated including updated information, specs, and photos. http://chicagobus.org/buses/1000 Quote
Mr.cta85 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Posted March 19, 2015 Yikes!!! What the heck happened to 1147??!! That bus looked bad the windshield is all smashed in hopefully that bus will be back in service soon. It's sitting here at south shop 1415 looks like it's been in a accident too with a few cracks in the front as well but no where near as bad as 1147 though. Quote

BusHunter Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Posted March 19, 2015 #1744 is released on the #50 Quote
BusHunter Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Posted March 19, 2015 #1706 is rehabbed on the #11. It has a kedzie sticker still on it. #1744's not rehabbed on the #50. Quote
BusHunter Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Posted March 19, 2015 #1920's rehabbed on the #146. Quote
jajuan Posted March 19, 2015 Report Posted March 19, 2015 #1706 is rehabbed on the #11. It has a kedzie sticker still on it. #1744's not rehabbed on the #50. They probably didn't get to 1706 yet. A few of the other NP transplants from Kedzie like 1689 and I believee 1693 were sporting NP 'P' stickers recently. I remember the 4050s NP got from Kedzie about a couple years ago sported Kedzie stickers almost six months at least before getting updated stickers. Quote
BusMaster Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 #1920's rehabbed on the #146. I bet that was a rare sighting Quote
jajuan Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 I bet that was a rare sighting In terms of a 40 footer on 146, yes though there have been more instances of seeing a 40 foot bus on 146 and even the 147 during rush hour. Quote
BusHunter Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Posted March 20, 2015 I bet that was a rare sighting Actually it was bunched up with two other 40 footers both on the #146. #1409 and something else. (might have been a rehabbed #1248) Well I got some pictures of #1706, here they are. #1706: Quote
NewFlyerMCI Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 36 seems to be the spot for NP's rehabbed NF's, #1709 and #1891 are both there. EDIT: #1967 is on 54B, #1217 is on 21, #1850 is on 7 (103rd -> Kedzie) Quote
garmon757 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 #1970 is rehabbed while on #74 earlier today. Quote
