ajm522 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Was on 1477 and that bus sounds really bad for being rehabbed. The engine sounded clogged and like it was over exerting itself in trying to move down the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 #1868 is rehabbed on the #74 and of course I got a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmon757 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I forgot to mention these buses earlier today: Getting rehabbed: #1228 Awaiting for rehab: #1080 #1282 #1864 I managed to get a better shot of #1468. So far, no changes of it's restoration status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Look at all those Optimas!! Funny the damage I thought was on the front of #1468 not the rear, what are they doing harvesting it for parts? BTW I got a good look at #1630, it's now a full rehab. I don't see #1635 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they're being replaced with new ones (I hope so) but the rest of the parts are not stripped. Now that's really f'ing awesome to hear (#1630)! Has anybody seen #1955???

Has anybody seen #1955??? 1955 is out again, is on number 4. Couldn't tell of it was rehabbed as it was on opposite side of street. Also 1347 got released from shop and is on #2.

garmon757 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Getting rehabbed: #1080 #1169 #1283 #1743 Questionable: #1082 #1571 might have updated kneeling decals. #1553 is a "troubled" bus because it's been out of service for a while and it's parked all the way in the back by retired 906 (that's not a good sign). I hope it's not facing early retirement because that would be the first rehabbed bus to be in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's not facing early retirement because that would be the first rehabbed bus to be in that position. Why not just rehab #1553 again? LOL!! Do you see any structural damage? I know before when I saw #1981, that bus had some real problems. (troubled) Good to hear it might be getting rehabbed, that might be the only way it's problems straighten out!!

It had the yellow tape on the doors like it was part of a crime scene. I agree about #1981. Oh by the way, I'm riding #1990 on #79 and it's not mechanically rehabbed at all. It only has the updated kneeling decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajuan Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 #1347's rehabbed on the #3 and smells like bleach or Pine-Sol. #1193's rehabbed too. Interesting you mentioned that. 74th's rehabbed buses have been having that new bus smell to them for the past couple of weeks at least.

No this is different. it smells like someone cleaned the bus with a whole bottle of Pine-Sol or bleach but I've smelled stronger smells. Just yesterday I was standing at the Cermak/Michigan NB stop. Someone must have been painting with enamel paint or something cause the smell was strong and I was outside. I remember thinking a person could get high just waiting for the bus!! I had to stand about 5-10 feet away from the stop, cause the smell was annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 #1504 is not rehabbed at all on the #28. #1635 has still just the updated interior lights and seats. The access panel is not made yet at the wheelwell but #1635 has lost it's wrap so maybe soon they'll finish it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Picture of #1379 with California blue line in the background. Today they stripped the south platform and installed the metal scaffold stairs. I guess they are dismantling the station stairs next.
