Pulse buses: 6519 & 6520

Main thing noticeable here, which wasn't when I went by because they are now backed to the fence, is that they don't have Pace logo decals, which makes sense since they will be wrapped.

Yeah but the interesting part is that there's movement from the pack you shot before. Perhaps #6519 and #6520 are being prepped for a wrap or some other prelims. I have a hard time believing those buses are going to sit for 6 months to a year. This is time off there FTA lifespan and not a good use of equipment. I wonder why not just start Milwaukee lite. :P (hmm sounds like a beer) LOL!! Do they really need the bus shelters and everything. I would think a limited service could prove viable as an early test of the pulse service. Plus they could get feedback on what is wrong and what works and make a better startup happen. Plus putting the Orions to bed early wouldn't be a bad idea either but that will happen for sure when the rest of the CNG's show up at south.

In that they said construction would start first thing when warm enough, I would have started 2 weeks ago.

Otherwise, I thought that they would start them unwrapped,like the I-90 buses, but they didn't. I would also guess that whatever service life requirement is in the CMAQ paperwork. Like the South Bend CNGs, I suppose the clock doesn't start until they are put in service.

6573 and 6574 have been at NS since 9/17. I am not sure they were ever at SW and arrived 9 months after the rest of the batch.

The three highway ElDorados (6386-6388) moved from SW to NS in April 2019 after the I-55 changes.

6786 was the last diesel ElDorado delivered in March 2018. Pace has had ElDorado CNG delivered later in 2018 (18500-18510) and this year (20500-20505). All other deliveries this year have been New Flyer XD40.

I think 6784 and 6785 were delivered later than 6786 because they entered service in late May of 2018 but everything else I see you put is correct.

Does this mean there's still NABIs on Pace property?

Yes, but not for regular service they are either stored for use at Ravinia or withdrawn waiting to be sold.

The ones at North and some of the ones at South Holland were used on the Ravinia shuttles although not since 2019.

6220, 6222, 6225, 6238, 6260, 6296, 6601, 6606, 6609, 6621, 6625, 6633, 6639, 6640, 6645, 6654, 6657, 6665, 6667, 6675, 6680

The remainder are ones withdrawn from West that have not been sold yet, or may be for Ravinia if it opens this year.

6279, 6298, 6299, 6320, 6321, 6666, 6669

So the FS buses are still active?  There are no buses present right now at Westmont so where are they stored?  Probably the same at Naperville.

Non of the First Student buses are in use at Naperville or Westmont. All routes were suspended on 13th April 2020. Some of the Westmont buses were reported to be seen at Pace South last year.

reported by ajay 11th July 2021

"List is not in order but 2794 2788(?) 2604 2798 2796 2802 2805 2699 & 2608 are confirmed retired. They are in the back of South Division alongside the NABIs. Edit: 2808 2810 2809 2807 and a 281x unit(trees were blocking my photo. But it’s probably 2816)"

Why retire the newest ones? All these feeder routes being gone are just about eliminating the eldorkos except in the collar counties.

Judging from the new assignment list some are stored rather than retired.

The following ElDorados are no longer on the assignment list:

2606-2610, 2612, 2614, 2615, 2617-2619, 2623, 2624, 2628, 2630, 2686, 2699, 2721, 2731, 2733-2735, 2749, 2809-2811

2797 and 2801 from Westmont are being used by Pace Northwest which still uses quite a few of its own, as does Pace Southwest. Some of the MV-Romeoville buses (2807, 2808, 2812) have moved to MV-Batavia. Very few North Shore or Highland Park buses are out. They are still used in Niles and along the Fox River.

I wonder how this affects the 20300s?  A small batch is being used in DuPage County as I have seen them on the 722. The 2600s are 16 years old.  They may not need 164 new buses, but certainly they can replace the oldest busrs.  They could also convert the order to receive some 40ft buses for  Pulse Dempster, or pulse 95th, or even CNG for Pulse Halsted.

It appears these have been officially retired, but not yet sold. Buses shown as South Storage however are still carried in inventory so not yet officially retired. The ones still listed at FS/FT/MV might not be physically there, but on the books that is still their homes.
