When I brought up that the BE40s were missing, others have said that 602 was scrap and 603 at training.

As of last check buses 602-605 are laid resting at the Perry fence, and 600-601 are nowhere to be found. Did they take away 602 recently?

At least you confirmed @Shannon tahoeppv's observation.

My only implicattion was that one of the buses was inoperable.

600 is inside of 77th, 601 is dug in the boneyard, 600-605 were inside of 77th for quite some time before they were thrown back there

That's a negative, #600 is sitting about 40 feet away from the fuel pumps adjacent to the boneyard right next to #5454 and #4910. #601 - #605 we're moved to the boneyard, hell one even started up after sitting for so long while another had to be assisted from the new owners of Proterra in order to move it. The BE40s are still on the active roster under C waiting for materials to I guess revive them so to speak. All in all if the CTA can somehow source parts from the new owners they'll restore them to active service.
