rotjohns Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 20 minutes ago, busfan2847 said: In addition the following buses were at South Holland for disposal on 10/14; 2629, 2630, 2667, 2687, 2718, 2719, 2768, 2773, 2780, 2814, 2817 and 2820 Total 12 So 2621 and 2627 are the last original Fox Valley buses left and if they go down, I doubt they'll be replaced. Now if the other 2600s up there retire, then that may be a different story. River appears to be set for now until more 22500s come in later since the transfers to them compensated for the loss of some of their buses. SW and NW: I didn't see any replacement 2600s so I'm guessing they're going all in on the 40 foot El Dorados. And since the original route cuts from 2020 appear to be permanent, there's a surplus of those so any more that retire, likely won't hurt too much.

Other than those on 711, 715, and those reassigned to Divisions, they are sitting somewhere. I haven't closely tracked them, but that has to be 50 something, pretty low mileage.

rotjohns Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 2697 and 2698 are on the 715. So they've been booted out of Heritage. Sounds like 2727-2732 are heading to the scraper soon, although 2727 is out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
