8325-series Nova LFS - Deliveries & Assignments

[sw4400]

I'm creating this topic because we currently have 25 Novas set to go into assignment at some point in the near future. This is the only purpose for this topic, do not use it to cast arguments about the past assignments or anything as such. Let's monitor CTA for the assignments of these buses and post them here(and perhaps a pic or two as well on route).

Yes I am looking on the tracker and it shows 8342 is at Jeff. Park on the 91.

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

8326, 8343, and 8330 are all on the 81. 8337 is on the 77 and 8347 is on the 76. 8341 is on the 152 with 8338. So they may all be at FG.

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

8335 is on the 80.

[Mr.cta85]

Well I guess I was wrong about them coming to 103rd lol good stuff guys on the sightings.

8347 smells so new on the 76! It is kind of weird that it doesn’t have a window in the back! Cloth seats

It's the weekend, Sam92. Might not have all of them in service until Monday. FG has less buses running on weekends(I know because I use Addison and it's like Lincoln back in the day on weekends... one bus every 20-30 minutes)

Manual mode can be anyday. I remember 4300s having to forcefully sign in on a weekday. Some people saying their out today but the trackers show nothing

Again, note the paneling on #8341 near those new vents.... the circular looking vents in the rear that look like a fan of sorts.... is there additional cooling on these Cummins engines now?

[sw4400]

Only one bus out and about at FG today.... but it is a Sunday and less buses run on Sundays. We'll have to recheck again tomorrow...

The fonts on the destination signs look similar to NF #1249

Yes. Hanover Displays' Monochrome destination signs instead of the Luminator Horizon signs that have been in most of the recent CTA buses.

[Aiden Tabucic]

Who can update the math22 tracker to add the 8325’s

[mel bernero]

It looks like a second small vent has been added on the rear panel.
