BusHunter Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 #1202 is mechanically rehabbed while I was riding it on #52A. I'm heading to the shop as I type this. That means that 77th now has all buses mechanically rehabbed at least except #1071 and #1971 (both in the shop getting rehabbed though.)

BusHunter Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey, I wasn't too far from you when you took that shot of #1764. I was on California and Armitage around 5 PM. 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is running time, so maybe 20 weeks. But as I indicated above, I couldn't figure this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
